Raku Tea Bowl

This was my very first project in 3D Art. It was a great introduction on how to shape clay for my very first time! There were definitely places I could've refined such as smoothing out the edges a little bit, but overall I'm very glad on how my Raku Tea Bowl turned out! The process on burning them was a very interesting process to watch. I can still smell the burnt part of the tea bowl!

Sgraffito Plate

This project was supposed to have the final result of a design in the middle of the plate and making a clay plate. At first, my design cracked and I had to restart. Even though it looks lots of extra time to catch up with everyone else, I managed to finish and I'm very proud of how it turned out! I learned how to carve through clay and trace a great design on to a plate. The final design was something that I would not have expected if I were myself from a week or two ago.

Impressive Box

This project was supposed to be a hexagon box that is able to store items inside of. This was the longest project yet and there were definitely troubling times during this project. My first design, I wasn't very proud of at first. I restarted then chose the design on the sides that I would eventually stick with. I'm pretty proud of how my box turned out to be and I learned a lesson that I can start over if I'm not proud of what I made.

Personal Logo

This project required us to make our first and last initials into a personal logo. A middle initial was optional, and I wanted to add it in order for my box to look like how it looks. I wish I was better at painting/drawing, so that the logos of the teams that I put looked better, but I worked with what I could for this project. This was a very enjoyful project because I was able to put all of my interests on to my initials. This was definitely a hard project for me, since mine was probably one of the biggest in the class and it took some time to even build in the first place. However, despite not being able to paint very well, I am proud of how this project turned out. My dad definitely helped too, bringing some yellow straws to make the field goal posts.
