My favorite artwork this semester was the mishima cup on the far right. I like this cup because my mom likes it so much, and i also love the mishima technique. I feel like the colors i choose and the red clay really work well together. I don't have any artworks i would do over because i was satisfied with all of them. Ceramics class is gonna help me in the future by being more crafty and make things to set around my house some day, i just like the way clay works. One thing i wish i could have got to do was the wheel because that looks fun.

For this artwork i expressed balance and the use of geometric shapes. If my art was to be put anywhere i would want it in a park so people could view it and sit around or under. My Reasoning for making this was to use shapes you don't usually see in an odd for of an artwork. I used strawberry sundae for the glazes and i added 2-3 coats making it very shiny.
The new skill i used on this pen holder was clay mashima. In this process i had to roll out the clay slap and form the cup but i needed the clay to be in the perfect leatherhard stage to cut clay lines away. I had to make sure the lines weren't to shallow that the underglaze wouldn't stick but not to deep where it penetrates the otherside. Overall this artwork went very well and i was fairly happy with the final product. I used red, white, and green underglazes.
In my relief tile i expressed 3 things that i am passionate about and like. The celestial blue represents a lake and it took some envisioning to get it to look like a lake and it turned out pretty well. I used tiger tail for the field and hay bales from which i used a small cap to make precise circle. I used firecracker glaze on the C which really stands out but was a pain to form the clay in that way so it took some developing. Woodland fantasy I used on all the other space giving it a neat brown reddish tint. Overall the artwork was fairly easy to craft and wasn't very many problems.
In my process of building this pot, i usually would put one layer on at a time and smoothed it out. I made the top hole smaller than the first start of the peace. It got harder as the pot got bigger to smooth out the inside so you definitely had to problem solve and observe what you needed to do. I used celestial blue on the outside and fireworks on the inside which turned out to be a pretty cool mix.
With my slab box it went fairly well besides getting my box to stand and not crack into pieces. I had to observe what my pot texture was so it didn't get to dried out or to wet and evision what the top piece of the pot should look like and all and all it came out pretty well. For glazes on the bottom half I used irish luck on the inside, and red on the outside with cosmic black over that, on the top half I used red on the inside and black ople on the outside.
To start this project, i made an idea in my sketchbook of what i wanted and then i traced that onto my PVC pipe. I then went over the lines with hot glue. The hardest part was keeping the hot glue bead even but it turned out pretty mint.
With the Ceramic Sphere it went very well, i had a fun time putting in the design. The forming part of the sphere was a little tricky to get it all even so envisioning is needed. I used Purple haze, true red, bright orange, lucky green and shiny black.
In these art works I used many studio habits, such as envisioning what i was going to make and the process and techniques i was going to use. I developed and crafted these and also stretched and explored by using different tools to get different textures such as the brick look and pores bottom. It was very interesting seeing the pots come out of the kilm when they were glazed how much the color changed. These artworks went very well with minimal problems.
With my signature stamp it went fairly smooth through the whole process, i had to envision what my signature would look like because it is backwards. One more thing that was tricky was getting the clay out of the smaller holes.
