Sgraffito

Artist Statement: In this assignment we were asked to make creatures/animals with clay. I decided to make a human, the most known animal. I wanted to express some sort of feeling with this piece of art, so i decided to make the head hollow... resembling the feeling of losing your mind. I also had the same idea with the Sgraffito, When i first started scratching i didn't really know what i was intending to make but as i kept going an image was created mentally and visually. I feel as if i didn't really struggle with this besides the scratching and smoothing of the clay when it was drying. I think i had trouble with this because of how OCD i am, so it was never perfect. Aside from the struggles I really enjoyed doing this project and am looking forward to many more.
