For my choice project I chose to make a bowl, its about 4 1/2 inches tall and 5 inches wide. I made this bowl surprisingly fast, I was able to center it quickly and start pulling the wall easily. When I glazed it, I dipped it in white and flicked black glaze on it from a paint brush. I had never flicked glaze on a project before, but I found I really liked it. I think this project does a good job of demonstrating contrast and balance. This bowl turned out really good in my opinion and I really love it

This is my large bowl, it stands 8 inches tall and is 7 inches wide. This is my first big bowl that I have made, and making it I learned how to open the bowl up more without tearing the wall. I used sea mix clay and then glazed it white and black. I glazed the rim of the bowl black to give it a blue look and to demonstrate line and contrast. I love my bowl, and I love having projects I can use for dishes.
This is my hand and wheel project, it stands about 6 inches tall and is 4 1/2 inches wide. With this project I learned how to attach and make a handle, the hardest part of it was trying to figure out how to fit it on and re-wet it, because I left it out by mistake and it was originally to dry to attach. I glazed the project white and black to match my ongoing theme, I painted the whole project in multiple layers of white first and then painted one layer of black over the handle and top of the cup. I wanted to glaze it that way to demonstrate line and contrast. This project was my favorite to make and I really love it!
This is my planter, its about 4 inches tall and 6-7 inches wide. This was my first good planter that I have made, I learned how to pull the two walls better and make them more even and centered. For glazing, I used white and black glaze to create a blue dripping effect on the outside and inside walls demonstrating line. I decided to pull the outside wall away more to show the space in between the inside and outside walls. This is one of my favorite projects I have made, and I made it just for a baby plant that I got and need a planter for.
This is my lidded project, it's 7 inches tall and 4 inches wide. When I made the lid, I learned from another student how to shape and form the the handle and lip to fit the bottom. I decided to glaze it blue and white to create contrast in my project. Also, I glazed the lid white as well to unify the project. When I glazed this I wanted to add detail to it but still have it be simple, so I put a piece of tape in the middle of the pot and glazed over it to really show contrast from the pot versus the glaze.
This is my handle less cup, I chose not to put a handle on it because I wanted it to differ from my hand and wheel project. Its 5 1/2 inches tall and 2 1/2 inches wide. I chose to glaze it blue and shadow green on the outside and white on the inside to show value and color. At first I didn't like how this turned out but I have grown to love it.
This is our franken pot, in my group was Abby G. and Hannah G. It is a fairly small franken pot but only because one of our pieces had to be cut down a lot. It is about 7 inches tall and 4 inches wide with a green and brown glaze. When I glazed this, I put metallic brown on and then white on top of it to create this green and brown mixture.
This is an extra credit cylinder that I made about a month ago. It's 2 inches wide and about 5 inches tall. It has a light blue/white mix of glaze on the outside and white on the inside. When I glazed this I wanted it to be very light colors and simple, I really like the blue that white and black make so that is what I used to glaze. I put several layers of white glaze on and only one light layer of black glaze to give it that light blue color, and to demonstrate value through the light white and blue on the outside.
This was my first successful cylinder and I'm happy with how it turned out. This is a bowl I made, its about 4 inches tall and 6 inches wide. Its glazed with a white glaze for a base color and black and purple glaze for the hearts and arrows I carved into the inside of the bowl. This bowl demonstrates shape, color, value, and line mostly through the arrows and hearts. As well as the black glaze in the arrows to the white glaze as the base. I don't think I will keep this bowl just because I don't really like it. Although I am supper proud of my foot!!
This is my wheel vase, it's about 4 inches tall and 3 1/2 inches wide. The surface is fairly smooth, and has a white glaze covering the outside and the cobalt blue glaze on the inside. When I glazed it, I wanted to demonstrate value through the dark blue and white glazes I chose. I also wanted to match a bowl that I made earlier this semester.
This is our group coil project, its 4 inches tall and about 4 inches wide. In my group was James, Hannah Green, and Abby. We all worked hard as a team to make this the best we could. Mostly they worked on the actual base and coils, and I worked on blending the inside and touch ups on the outside to the coils. When we glazed it, we decided to use shadow green and blue to show light and dark colors against each other. This coil was made to give to one of my friends, she LOVES the coil pots and the glazes we used and I am really excited to give it to her.
This is my second bowl, and it's about 4 inches tall and 51/2 inches wide. When I glazed this bowl my intent was to capture the ocean with different variations of blue. Instead this bowl to me represents a storm, a mixture of light and dark and in some places you can see the brush marks representing the wind. I used white and black glaze to make blue, the black showed more; creating a mixture of blue, white, gray and black. I worked really hard on this and am pretty happy with how it turned out.
This is my choice project, its 5 1/2 inches tall and 3 inches wide. When making this project I threw it on the wheel then pulled one side inside and the other out giving it the look of a leaf. I feel as if it expresses nature in a very artistic way that brings out the difference in how plants truly grow. I had so much fun making this project and really focused on shape and the glazing aspect. I glazed it with the intent of it looking like a leaf with green and brown glazes to show the change in color a leaf shows near the end of summer and more towards fall. I am very proud of how it turned out!!!
This is my first bowl. It's 4 inches tall and 5-6 inches long, it has a smooth surface and white and black glaze. When I made this bowl I used sea mix clay, because I knew that I wanted to glaze it with white. When I glazed my bowl I painted on several layers of white glaze then used the dropper to drip black glaze along the top off the bowl to make a cool blue. With this bowl I really wanted to define line and value. Through using the dropper to drip lines down the rim of the bowl and by using white and black glaze I think I have done that. I made this bowl for myself, I was originally going to give it away but I really like it so I decided to keep it for myself.
