Ceramics I

Reflection:  

The piece I am most proud of would be the Narrative Slab Mug. I worked very hard on all parts of the mug and came in out of class to work on it. This project was really fun to do, because we got to tell a story/memory through a piece of art. I am also very proud of how it turned out in the end, I like the glazes that I used, and I really like the shape of my mug. I also spent a lot of time making the small details on the white boxes all around my mug, each representing a memory. 

I think one of the most informative projects that we did would be the slab box/house, in this assignment there were many different parts, which helped us learn and grow our artistic skills in ceramics. Those being, carving, texture, glazing, slabs, and telling a story. Another informative thing would be watching the pueblo video, and seeing how they created these detailed pieces of art during that time period. It also helped us later when we started to create out pueblo and design the shape. We learned tons of new techniques this semester, and both of these project/things helped me grow as a ceramic student. 

I met my hopes and goals perfectly. I wrote that I hoped to make a mug or bowl and I did both of those. I also stated how I believe that nature and memories will help me create my artwork, and that is exactly what I did. Almost all my pieces are inspired by a memory or some part of nature. Another goal of mine was to make sure I never turned in anything late, and I stuck to that goal and made sure everything was turned in and finished on time!
