Clay Bowl

The first project we made were these clay bowls. The first step was rolling out the clay to make it flat and then cutting the shape of the bowl and adding prints. After the clay was cut we folded it into a bowl and sealed the seams and then painted. The hardest part of this project was folding the clay up without ruining the pattern and trying to make it symmetrical. It was very difficult to make it symmetrical.

Clay Plate

Our next project was a clay plate with a stencil cut out print. We rolled the clay flat and cut it out in the shape of a plate, we then added legs on the bottom of the plate. After the plate was dry we painted it and then outlined and scraped the paint off with a pencil to get the design we picked out and to finish it off added a clear finish glaze. I think the only difficult part of this plate was making sure to scrape all the paint off.

3d Art logo

The next project was a 3d personal logo. I decided to pick out pictures and put them on mine to show what best represents me. We first designed a logo and cut two sides of it out with a thin foam board and attached them together with paper. Afterwards we used paper mache to form the logo, I then painted it yellow and paper mache more pictures on the logo. The hardest part was trying to keep the paper mache smooth without air bubbles.

Clay Animal

For the clay animal project I decided to make a rooster. This project included shaping the rooster and then hollowing it out. After the rooster was hollowed out I added the texture of the feathers. After the rooster was fired, it was ready to paint and I decided to paint it with different shades of brown. The hardest part about this project was the feathers and trying to figure out what would look best for the back tail feathers and then adding texture took a long time, but ended up turning out good.

Foam Project

For the foam project I attempted making a deck of cards. I first shaped a piece of foam into the shape of cards, then painted it completely white. After it was white I pained on the Ace of hearts, then on the back of the card deck I did a picnic pattern. On the sides of the deck I tried making it look like a lot of cards stacked up by using a pencil to make shadows. This project was overall fairly easy but hard to make it look like a deck of cards from the side.
