This is my choice project. It is 6 inches tall by 4 inches wide and is glazed with forest green and cobalt blue. When it went to get fired another project fell on it and cracked the side so I sanded down the other side to match and ended up creating something that I like even more. A skill I learned from this is how to sand down dry clay to get an intended shape or design. This project shows color because of the vibrant glaze colors which leads to contrast because the light and dark shades bounce off and reflect off one another. Overall, this project has a mysterious feel to it because it has an unknown purpose and looks different depending on which way you turn it.

This is my second theme project. It is 4.5 inches tall by 2 inches wide and is glazed with forest green and cobalt blue. This project taught me how to foot something that has a lip. I had to make sure it wasn't too wet or too dry or else the lip would crack and the project would fall apart. This project shows color like the last one because of the blue lines on green base which shows contrast because of the blue reflecting off the green and standing out. Like the last vase, the theme of this is waterfall because the blue glaze falls down the side of the project the way water falls off a ledge creating a waterfall. This project makes me proud because I was glad I could replicate the last vase and make them look similar. This is my theme project. It is 5 inches tall by 2 inches wide and is glazed with forest green and cobalt blue. I made it by creating a tall cylinder and then pinching the top to make a lip for the vase. Something I learned from this project is how to make a triangle with my hands so that the lip of the vase doesn't get too thin and break off. This project shows color because of the blue reflecting off the green which leads to contrast because the lines bounce off the base color and stand out. My theme here is "waterfall" which both of my projects represent because of the blue glaze falling down the project. This project makes me happy because I have always had a hard time with vases but I successfully pulled this off.
This is my set of three project. They are all made in seamix clay and range from 3-5 inches in height. I glazed them all in cobalt blue and then dripped black over that. This project taught me replication because I had to glaze all three projects the same way. This project shows color because of the opaque blue used and how bright all three pieces look which leads to balance because the three projects even each other out. There is a cup, a bowl, and a vase which are all things I can use in my house. The vase can go on the table and hold flowers, and the cup and bowl can be used for eating and drinking meals. Overall, this project makes me feel satisfied because the three pieces all look the same and there aren't any rough spots on them.
This is my lidded project. It is 4.5 inches tall by 3 inches wide. I glazed the base in green and the lid in blue so they pop from each other. This project taught me how to create a lid with a grip on it to hold by pressing my fingers together and closing the clay. This project shows color because of the two tones reflecting off each other which leads to contrast because they are typically the same color but I did them different for a reason. This project makes me feel happy because the lid fits on the base and looks like the project is proportional.
This is my tall project. It is 6 inches tall by 2 inches wide. I glazed it with white and blue glazes. I learned how to pull the walls really tall and still keep it centered by evenly applying pressure so it doesn't tilt off. This project shows space by the gaps between the lines looking empty and bare which leads to contrast of the lines off of the base color because they look opposite of each other. This project makes me feel bored because the glaze is plain and didn't come out as vibrant as I hoped for. This is my bowl 2 project. It is 4 inches tall by 5 inches wide. I glazed it in blue and white glaze. A new skill I learned was how to pull the walls a certain way to get a more rounded bowl shape. I glazed it by at first dunking it in white glaze and then dripping blue over it and splashing blue in the center. This bowl shows line by the glaze slipping down the walls which leads to space because there is an even portion of blank in between each glaze drip. This bowl makes me feel excited because I love the way the glaze turned out and am overall proud of the way it looks.
This is my frankenpot project. It is 7 inches tall by 3 inches wide. It is a tall cylinder made by attaching three small cylinders to each other. It is glazed in white, black, green, and clear. A new skill this project taught me was how to slip and score wheel projects because I had only been used to doing that to hand projects. I glazed it by dunking the bottom half in white and the top half in black, then sponging off the top portion and dunking that part in green while pouring clear glaze in the inside to make it smooth. This project shows line by the distinct sections of color stopping and then starting again with a new color which leads to balance because all three colors are evenly proportioned and it looks like everything is in place. This project makes me feel accomplished because our whole team worked together to make something tall and in one piece and I am happy we could pull it off.
This is my large bowl 1 project. It is 5 inches tall by 5 inches wide. It is glazed in white and then painted over with black red and yellow bottle glaze in the shape of a flower with vines. A new skill I learned from this project was being able to pull the walls more evenly in order to create a taller project. This project shows shape in the twisty turning vines and rounded flower petals which leads to balance in the flow of shapes and colors in the project. This project makes me feel proud because I am not very good at painting so I was glad I could pull this off. I was a little sad that the white glaze ran though. This is my extra credit project. It is 4 inches tall by 4 inches wide in wet clay. I made it by dipping the project in green glaze and then splattering a lighter color of glaze over it. This project taught me how to correctly foot. Since it was centered correctly I learned the right way to foot and how to foot other projects correctly. This project shows space through the empty area between the dots which leads to emphasis because it makes the dots look more prominent. Overall, this project makes me feel sad because of the deep colors and how it has a depressing look to it.
