Showcase Reflection

The showcase was a total success! I'm so happy to be done with my concentration and almost done with the school year! I'm sad though. I love being in AP 3D cause our class feels more like a family and I have grown so much since the beginning of the year. Not only as an artist but as a person. I have learned how to be patient and hard working and to never be afraid to ask for h help from my class mates. I'm so glad I had the opportunity to be a part of this class!

striped tea set!

This week i got a LOT done!!! this is my finished teaset, ready to be scrubbed and fired. i finished it in two class periods! almost done with my concentration, but not quite yet.

cranking out the artwork!

hello, my name is Wayyyyyy Behind........but im catching up! I have been making like 2 projects a week and im gonna start coming in during 1st period. another thing im freaking out about is NAHS hours!!!!! i need to get those doneeeee!!!!!!!
but anyways on a brighter note, i threw an awesome teapot base yesterday and im REALLY proud of it. it's one of the biggest things ive thrown before and turned out exactly how i wanted. yay!

behind :(

hello..... this week im finishing my flower pots! I realized that I am way behind and am gonna have to make like one project a week! so time to start pumping out the artwork! I'm finishing carving the third lid for my flower pot set. here is the first two. the second lid didnt come out quite as a planned but i think it still looks alright. here it is.

some food for thought.

hello. this week i have just been working on my flowerpots. originally it was going to be a teapot but i didnt like the spout and so unattached it and sealed it back up to be a normal pot/cookie jar. my decision is to make two other ones just the same except for the flower on the lid is going to different. one is going to be a daisy, one is going to be a lily, and one id going to be a rose. then im going to wood fire them this spring. im very excited about it!
lately i have been noticing however,that theres a trend in my artistic style. not the appearance, bvut the way i make my art. i hardly ever use sketches. i always just go for it with a litttle idea in my head and then it always transforms into a whole other idea that sometimes had absolutely nothing to do with my original plan! This projecvt imworking on now is a hgood example of that. it also made me realize that that is what makes me a good artist----not because i have good skills (im not that great at throwing) but because i can make a mistake and totally build off of that. which i have done millions of times and it often brings me great inspiorations and ewnds up being one of my best poieces ever!

sorry my typing is awful righyt now but i had to do this in a hurry. love you all!
