Making this clay jar was very fun! I made a few small bumps in the clay, and when I glazed it, I missed some small spots. This is because the glaze is very light colored before it is fired up, and it is very pastel. I had expected the jar to stay pastel, but the color turned out almost neon. I loved how the jar turned out even though it was not how I had expected.
Making this clay whistle was a roller coaster ride!! It took days to decide what I wanted my whistle to look like, but even before that, it took at least 6 redo's to get my whistle to make noise! The snowman had a full smile, a carrot nose, arms, and a scarf when it entered the kiln for the first time. When I started to glaze it, I put too much pressure on the paintbrush, and it tipped over, making the scarf, a piece of the smile, arms, head, and the carrot nose fall off!! We were able to attach the head back on with glaze, but everything else was thrown out! Nonetheless, I still love how cute and silly this snowman looks!! had an amazing time doing this project!!
Making this clay bowl has been my favorite art project yet!!!! It took a little bit of time to choose what design I wanted to do. I have been noticing that this happens with all of my art projects, but that's okay, some things just take a little bit more time than others! I didn't even really draw out my design on the bowl first, I just sort of did a rough sketch! I loved making the coils and glazing the finished bowl, and I absolutely love the color and design!!! It was a huge success overall and I had so much fun making it!
Making this water color painting was very fun, but also very challenging at first. I actually picked out my picture very fast this time, and same with my color scheme. I love the color scheme I chose, and I think it was very unique to not have blue water. The shading and layering was the part that was a little hard for me to get the hang of, but in the end, I got it! Watercolor was very fun for me, and it is one of my favorite projects we have done so far in this class! I love this way this project turned out, and had such a fun time water coloring!
