wax resist final project

(not my vessel) But what i did was i made a coil pot in the shape of a bowl, then i drew a zig- zag pattern on the inside of the bowl with pencil after it became bone wear, then i painted the wax on and waited for it to dry, once dry i wiped the bowl with a damp sponge creating different depths of the clay. Where the wax was, was now a raised surface and the untouched clay was sunken in. Sadly after doing this step half of my bowl broke off when i was taking off the outside design because i didn't like it anymore. I kept the bottom half and glazed it a dark aqua color and it still needs to be fired.

almost finished scrafito project

final assessment

1) I think that we covered almost every type of project. Maybe doing the slip casting next year would be fun.

2) I definitely do have a personal style in my art. I am more sculptural and try to make things as realistic as possible.

3) I am much neater with my work and i take more time to do things to make them look good. I have definitely progressed as an artist over the years. In the beginning i was very messy and didn't try too hard, and now i go hard in my work.I still make thick bottom things on the wheel and i could make lighter pots.

4) The blogs were alright, i mean they weren't terrible and it was nice to not do a stupid power point. So i guess i liked it.
