This trimester I have the sculpture and ceramics class and we have been making some really cool projects. The first project we made was a slab pot, which is basically any type of pot made by scoring and slipping slabs together. For this pot we had to have a theme, so some how a theme of just a huge wave popped into my head. So my pot ended up being like a half circle with a dent in it and a slanted top (The shape is kind of hard to explain). Anyways the main thing that I love about my pot is the colors. For this pot we got to carefully paint the pots using brushes, so i painted mine the color of water, since it's a wave, but since water can be many shades of blues/colors I blended all the blue glazes there were. So my pot goes from being dark blue at the bottom to a very light blue/white at the top where the wave is which is my handle. Another project we have made so far is a wire sculpture. I chose to make mine Mickey Mouse, since it had to be a toy from your childhood and I really couldn't think of a toy so I just chose Mickey Mouse. I am currently also working on this plaster project in Sculptures and Ceramics which I particularly hate, but what we did was make an uneven plaster shape and now we have to carve something out of it by shaving away the plaster. I'm making a turtle. Above is a picture of my wave pot and below is a picture of my Mickey Mouse wire project. I'm really enjoying this class so far, well except for the plaster project, but hopefully it will turn out ok.
