My project was a golf ball and tee. I pushed a round ball into a call sphere. I made the sphere like we did when we made are other spheres. And I made the tee by making a disk and putting a post on it.
i made a screwdriver morphing into a stingray. i made the screwdriver handle as the tale. i put two wings and made a face on it.
i wasn't really trying to send any message with this art work. the handle was pretty hard to make. it was the hardest part. I'm pretty familiar with clay. we have been using it all year. in conclusion this ark work wasn't the hardest but it wasn't easy. it was probably my 4th hardest artwork. i i would do my string ray part again it doesn't look the best. i was trying to make it look like a nest of some sort. most likely a smaller bird. most of there nest are brown and have things coming of of them like i tired to put on it. i tired to make the inside darker than the outside to show the lightness and darkness
my object was kinda like a nest of some kind. it has little things all over it caking like sticks or leaves.it has a small hole in it just big enough for some kind of bird.
i started out using a slab and putting coils until the shape and height i wanted. then i smoothed it all out. i then started putting the leaves a twigs on it to make it look like the nest. in conclusion i was trying too make a coil sculpture like mrs barnett wanted and even though i had to start over i think it came out better then i thought it would. i think my most successful art work is my sphere. i think the carving id better then anything else i have done and i like the color choice on my box i felt like i overcame things such as not wanting to do it and having to start over. then i couldn't get all of the blue paint off so it showed through the yellow i think my sphere and my tile show my growth as an artist because my carving is getting better and you can see that in the art.my painting is also getting better as the year goes on. i like only working with clay since I'm not a good drawer. for me the only frustrations i have had is making slabs only because i don't like to do that.i think that when you only work with on medium you will get very experienced and good working with that medium. when making my tile i rolled out a slab of clay. i carved different kinds of lines in my clay. i used the square carving tool on my clay to make square channels. i made sure one line broke the frame. i also put my initials in the clay
when i was making my sphere i used 2.4 lbs of clay. i cut the clay in half. i made two pinch pots out of the 2 halts of clay. i scored both sides of the clay. i slipped one of them so they would stick together. i tried scoring and slipping bigger things to my box. this was also my biggest clay project so it was different from anything else i did. when scoring i used the scoring tool.
my texture roller texture on the walls of my box didn't really come out very well so i had to put other things on the sides. i put a mushroom on top for the handle. i put ? boxes on the side of my box. some of the issues i had making my box were trying to get all the wall the same and trying to put them together.
