tile

For my tile I started with the idea of a new ballance planet. New balance being a show company, I thought someone running around the planet would be a good touch. I was inspired by Keith Haring for the style of art, particularly the stick figure. I then rolled out flat clay, traced out the different parts of the tile and layered them up and smoothed them out. Lastly, I poured plaster overtop to create my tile mold. Next, I created all four of my tiles, pounding clay into the mold and dropping out the clay afterwards, once dry. For glaze, I went realistic, the planet in earth colors and the person les realistic but new balance colors (red) and the sky a sky blue. Really happy with how unique the subject matter of this tile set is and how the planet came together with the insertecting N.  I used C-20, C-21, HF-165, and SM-27 fro glazes
