This project was fun. It taught me that you can put even more work into the details that you think that you can. You can do it, and you can make it look amazing. No matter how much time you put into it, you can always do more
This pot project was fun. It taught me that sometimes, you have to call good enough. You can't make it perfect, because sometimes that can make it worse. The inside of it has lots of white dots from where I put too much glaze, and it bubbled up. I tried to make it too good, and suffered for it,
Making this whistle was very enjoyable. We started out by making two half spheres that are hollow in the middle, and then we connected them to make a sphere that is hollow. Then were added a piece where you would blow, and then added the top part where the air comes out. I then added lots of clay to the outside until it was a cube. Then we baked it in the kiln, and then I painted it to look like a rubik's cube. This project was really fun because you are making something out of clay that makes noise, which I enjoy making.
This is the clay bowl that I made. I modeled it somewhat after a bowl that my mom has in our kitchen. I had a goal when making this, and that was to make something that that my mom would put in our kitchen. We made these entirely our of clay coils using a coil maker we had in the art room/
This is the hand drawing that I made using only different types of graphite pencils. We had four different shades: a 2H, an HB, a 3B, and a 6B. That is in order from lightest to darkest. We made some major points on it and then filled the lines in between. Once we had plenty of lines then we started adding value to it to make it seem realistic.
Also, the middle finger isn't actually as light as it appears in the drawing.
This is my watercolor turtle. I based it off of a actual turtle that I took a pictue of with my gopro. The first thing we did when making this was to outline the turtle. We did this by printing out a picture of a turtle, and scribbling all over the backside with pencil. Hang on, it will all make sense in a minute. We then used a pencil to draw on every major line with a watercolor paper beneath, and that would make there be a very small line on the watercolor paper. We then went over that with a thin marker. Then we did the background. After that we did very many thin layers on the body of the turtle until we were satisfied with how it looked.
