Currently, my pinch pot has been fired, but still needs to be glazed. Also, I am almost done building my coil pot (seen above), though there are still some things that need doing.
In regards to my pinch pot, the shape was not what I imagined it would be. This was partly due to the fact that I was not quite sure how I would shape the arcs at the top. after carving the base of the arcs from the pinch pot, I was able to attach an extension to make the arcs and then experiment in the shape. I did this until I found the most pleasing shape. I don't think I would change anything about my final product. Though I don't believe it is perfect (there are still some slight error in symmetry), I feel it is a good representation of my starting skill. I hope through out the year I can continue to improve.
Looking at the Rubric that I gave you in the beginning of the year, this piece falls into a A category. I am looking at: The use of Elements and Principles of design, Technical Skills, Conceptual Skills, Effort, and Creativity. We will look at the rubric together once the piece has been glazed and fired again.
ReplyDeleteOverall this is a very strong piece. The arcs and line design really compliment each other well. Great job!
