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.

This is my choice project. It is a bowl/vase and is 6 inches tall by 5 inches wide. It is a wide vase that is very open so that my family can put things in it. It is glazed by dunking in blue and then dunking the top half in green so that the blue glaze stands out more in the bottom of the project. It is smooth all the way down with no rough patches. Something I learned from this project was how to evenly pull the walls so that every side of the project has an even thickness. I have now used this skill to create even walls on my other projects. This project shows color by the gradual change in shade as your eyes move down the project which leads to movement because the glaze looks like its falling down and changing color as it flows downward. This project makes me feel excited because it is big, open, and colorful and looks inviting. This is my lidded project. It is 5 inches tall by 2.5 inches wide. It is smooth all the way down except for the lip where the lid meets the rest of the project. I glazed it by dunking the project in scrap green and giving it more of a plain and simple look. A new skill I learned was how to make a lid which I did for the first time during this project. By throwing a small piece of clay and making a planter type shape you can measure a lid that is the same dimensions as the other portion of the project. This project shows shape because of the curved lines which leads to rhythm because the whole project looks like it flows together. This project makes me feel proud because I never thought I could make a lid and have the project come together the way it did. This is cup with pulled handle project. It is 4.5 inches tall by 4 inches wide. It is a little rough on the sides because the glaze coat wasn't very thick, but I think that gives it character. I glazed it by using pink, red, and yellow bottle glazes and creating a vertical stripes pattern on the outside and a ring pattern on the inside. A new skill I learned would be pulling the handle because I wasn't very good at it last year and this year I was able to make one that was sturdier and smoother by pulling the wet clay evenly with my hand. I think this cup shows color because of the vibrant tones and shades that we are not used to. This leads to contrast in the light and dark shades reflecting off of one another. This cup makes me feel excited because there is so much going on in one little space and it has a very crazy look to it. This is my planter project. It is 4 inches tall by 6 inches wide. It is mostly smooth all around except for the lip at the bottom. It is blue and green and has a fading technique in the center. I glazed it by dunking it in dark blue and then the darker parts fell to the bottom of the project making it look like a waterfall of color. A new skill I learned was how to create a lip at the bottom of the project instead of at the top which I am used to. By pushing into the bottom of the project you can make the clay come out into a flat shape. This project shows shape by the curved bowl shape in the middle and plate like shape on the outside, which leads to scale in the project because the bowl and the lip are proportional to one another. The importance of this project is it makes me feel calm because the fading in the glaze looks relaxing and put together.
