This is my vase. It is 3.5 inches tall by 3 inches wide. It is glazed with white and black glazes. It is smooth all the way down. I glazed it by dunking it in white glaze and then dripping down black glaze on the outside and the lip part of the inside and then dripping black dots on the bottom of the project. This project helped me to learn how to create a lip without the project breaking and I did this by choking the project until it formed a distinct lip. This vase shows line by the direction the glaze is falling which leads to pattern in the repetition of the drips. This project makes me feel like I am on a wildlife safari because it looks very African and rustic.

This is my bowl 2 project. It was made with forest cobalt and scrap green. It is 2.5'' tall by 4.5'' wide. It is mostly smooth on all edges and rounded. I glazed it by dunking one side diagonally in one color and then the other side in the other color to create an abstract look. A new skill I learned from this project is how to turn what looks like a cylinder into a bowl by pulling the walls outward to create a more open look. I believe the glazing shows value because of the two different colors and then the overlap of the two colors blending together. This leads to contrast because the two different colors show two different sides of the bowl. This bowl makes me feel proud because it is even and smooth and the colors are vivid and bright. This is my bowl 1 project. It is 3 inches tall by 4.5 inches wide. I made it by evenly pulling the walls out on the wheel and trimming the top off to make it even. I glazed it by dunking it in white and then dripping scrap green over it. This project helped me learn how to create a more rounded shape within my project and give it more of a curved look. I think this project shows line because the drips in the glaze lead your eye from the top of the project to the bottom and give the project more of a direction. The line shown in the glaze leads to rhythm in the project because it flows nicely and looks put together. This project makes me feel relaxed because drips look soothing and nothing really pops out so it comes off quiet and calm.
This is our group coil project. It is 6 inches tall by 5 inches wide. It was made by using a pinch pot as the base and then stacking different types of coils on top to give it height and flare. We glazed it using cobalt for the pieces that stuck out and white as a base color. A new skill I learned from this project is how to even out the walls of a pinch pot so that there are no cracks or creases. I think the different types of coils show space in the project which are set up in a pattern, because every open area is spaced out evenly. This project was made for Mr.Mulligan, who is a math teacher at our school. The project makes me feel proud because our teacher really loved it and me and my teammates worked together well on it.
This is my tall cylinder project. It is 3 inches tall and 2.5 inches wide. It is glazed by dunking it upside down in scrap green and then dripping blue over which didn't show up. I learned to center the clay easier and faster by putting even pressure with my top and side hand. My tall cylinder shows value because of the light and dark colors in the glaze which leads to balance of the multiple colors evening each other out. I am not very happy with this cylinder because it was my first project of the year and I was still getting back into the swing of things. I think the importance of my cylinder is it has a sad feeling like it isn't complete because the glaze is spotty in some areas and didn't get an even coat.
