For this project we used clay slab and added texture to create a textured bowl. This project was fun because I was able to use whatever I wanted to create the texture. The hardest part was putting it together because it kept falling apart. I am really happy with how this project turned out, and really enjoyed making it.
For this project we used a special clay that turns white when fired so that we could carve a design into the plate. I really enjoyed this project because carving the design into the plate was really relaxing, but it was also the hardest part because I did spend a lot of time trying to make it even. I am really happy with how this project turned out and really enjoyed making it.
For this project we have to sketch out a logo using our initials, we then cut them on stryofoam and then paper mached the whole thing. Once that was dry and complete I was able to start painting. I really enjoyed this project because I was able to paint whatever I wanted that represented me and my life. I painted a lot of important things in my life in school and outside of it. I also painted my favorite people and things. I really enjoyed this project and the creativity and originality that came with it.
For this project, we started on the pottery wheel-shaping mugs and bowls. After they were completed and dried we trimmed the bottom to make them neat and lighter. Then we took different glazes and glazed them to the colors we liked. The hardest part of this project was the pottery wheel and centering the clay. After the clay was centered we had to get it to the right shape and sometimes it would flop over. But overall this project was fun with learning how to use the pottery wheel.
For this project, we used a block of hard foam and carved it into the shape of a food or object. My object was pink sugar cookies. I used multiple different tools to carve and shape the cookies. After the shape was perfect, I used paint to paint them to look like the cookies. This project was really enjoyable because it was fun to see the block of foam turn into the shape of the cookies.
For this project, we used Clay coils to create a vase or pot to our liking. we could wrap the coil around to build up the shape of the pot. Once the pot was built we took a few days to smooth out the surface and create a design. For my design I took flat pieces of clay and shaped them into circles then folded them to become 3D I then stuck them onto my vase. After it was fired I painted it with glaze and gold paint. I loved doing this project because of the freedom I had with it and being able to make it whatever shape I wanted and however big I wanted. I would definitely do this project again because of how fun it was.
For this project, I used a piece of driftwood, reed, and tissue paper to create a lamp that hangs on the wall. I started this project out by creating a design with the reeds that I wanted. I drilled holes into the wood it fit the reeds in. After the reeds were glued in I filled the holes by gluing tissue paper onto the reed. I then put starch on the paper to make it tighter. This project was fun to make because I was able to do any design that I wanted with the reeds and make it look however I wanted.
