Semester Project

This is my project for the semester. It's a mask that you can hang on the wall. I like the tongue. I don't like the back of it. I could improve the time spent on it. I guess that's it. Thanks.

What I learned this semester: I learned that I really suck at clay. Wheel throwing is not my best skill. I also learned that clay makes your hands very dry. Bring lotion to class always. My favorite project was the semester project. I liked the glazing part best. It was the least messy and it made my project pretty :') I especially liked mixing glaze. I don't know what I want to work with 2nd semester. I don't want to make jewelry. Especially not button rings. Maybe hemp rings. That'd be good. Sweet got 12 sentences. Nice!

Plate

This plate is a plate I made from wheel throwing. The glaze looks terrible. I like that it actually looks ok. I learned how to make a plate.

Coil Pot

I like the colors. It looks cool. I don't like how it looks terrible. I could improve the quality of it. I could've took more time on it, but then again, I had just gotten back from being in the hospital for like 2 weeks so I really didn't care.... It's pretty.

Vase, cup, and bowl

This is a vase I made out of clay. It's an orange/ red kind of color. Its weaknesses are that it is small so you can't really use it for much, it has some nicks a long the top and the bottom. Its strengths are that it's pretty evenly proportioned and the shape came out pretty even. I finally learned how to make a wheel thrown piece right. I could improve on the top and bottom of it.

The bowl is in the middle. It is red with black spots. Its weaknesses are that it has a very thick base and it's not really that big of a bowl. Its strengths are at least it can hold something right? I learned how to use dotting more with this. I could improve on the thickness....

The cup/ cylinder is on the right. It is black and yellow black and yellow black and yellow black and yellow. It isn't that great of a cup. It can hold water and has no holes. I could improve on the thickness issue with the base again. I learned how to curve the top.
