2. How has your knowledge and understanding of tools changed since the beginning of the semester? Talk about your growth of understanding. When I first started, I had very little understanding of tools. I’d experiment until I found something that worked. Since this semester, I’ve been able to get an idea of which tools would fix or add to a piece the best without having as much experimentation. I know what most tools were designed to do and how to apply that to my art. 3. What was your favorite material that you used this year? Why do you like working with it? I really loved working with glaze and underglaze. It really made me think about my detail work and break my art down into more simple color schemes. Both glazes kept me from overthinking my designs. Underglaze was really fun and pushed my art style more towards lines and detail work. 4. Which project was your least successful? Explain why you consider this work of art unsuccessful? If you were to create this project over, what changes would you make? My chameleon mosaic was probably my least successful piece. It was really messy and not well planned out. If I were to do it again, I’d cut down the size and really think about the composition. I’d also try and keep the piece itself cut up in a more organized way, with much cleaner lines. The glazing and materials were good but the pieces and design were poorly executed. 5. Regardless of whether a project was successful or not, describe the one where you learned, grew, or developed the most from? Please explain.
I learned the most from my tripod mug. It was a great introduction to clay and taught me a lot about using clay tools. A lot of the techniques and skills I learned while making that mug helped me in all my other clay projects. I learned how to wedge, slab roll, and mold clay. I learned how to use clay tools to create textures and surface designs most effectively. My tripod mug definitely taught me the most.
