For my tiles I used Inuit culture because they have really cool unique symbols. A lot of the symbols are very detailed so it was hard to find one simple enough to do but not so simple it's boring. I found these symbols and added a border to two of the sides. I found this culture very interesting and I hope to learn more about it in the future.
My cups were all made different ways. One cup was made using slab technique, one using coil technique, and one is a pinch pot. The one I made using slab was difficult because the I think the clay was too wet so it wasn't staying upright the way I wanted it to. The inside of that one was also hard because there's an octopus inside and it was difficult to get it to stay in there securely. The flowers on the pinch out were also difficult because the petals were so small that they would get too dry really quickly. The cup I made with coils didn't turn out exactly how I wanted because the stilts on the bottom were very hard to put on so they would support the cup.
This piece was probably fired in a kiln like the one we have here. The glaze was applied with texture and the top was dipped/painted with a darker glaze. I like the way the colors are placed and how they are all the same basic color but different shades. We could do this in our classroom. This piece was probably also fired in a kiln. To glaze it, they might have dipped the top and flipped it over so it dripped down the sides. I really like the choice of color and the way it drips down the side. We could probably do this in class.
Kim Krumrey created these bud vases. I like these because of how unique but simple they are. I also like how they are useful. These could be made using various methods including coils, pinch pots, and even the wheel. They're also glazed with nice spring colors. This bowl was created by Bob Deane. I really appreciate how simple this bowl is but how it catches your eye at the same time. The smoothness of it makes me believe it was made on the wheel, though it could have been made from coils. I love how the unique colors of glaze coat the inside of the bowl and drips down the outside.
This is my blog for my ceramics II class. I've always enjoyed making art and I'm excited to learn more about it and become a better artist. I don't have just one type of art I focus on I just like to try them all.
