Multiple pinch pots

artist statement:

For this project at first I was going to make a giffrafe out of multiple pinch pots, but then as I was drawing it I saw that it looked more like a chicken or a duck. Then my ideas started to unfold to end on making 3 ducks out of pinch pots. One example of how I did it technaclly as well as ashtecially is at first they where going to have legs and all be walking along. However, I then reailzed ( Mr A. helped me realize) that the legs would be unstable the way that I wanted them to be. This caused me to shift my vison to make all the ducks sitting or swimming so that they would be more stable.

One artistic descion that I made was with the glaze. I knew I didnt want to glaze them to be super realistic but I also knew that I didnt want to have the ducks be super vibrant colors that are not at all associated with ducks. I decided to glaze the inside of the ducks a blue color and the outside a green. Both of these colors show earthy tones with the beaks of the ducks being orange yellowish.

Overall, I am happy with this project because I thought that it all unfolded well artisitclly and techaniclly. One of my favorite parts is the ducks heads. I like how the all are a little different from one another. One thing that I struggled with is making the heads because they were hard to get exactly how I wanted them to look, but I eventullly did and I like them!
