art

hands down, ceramics was my favorite class this semester (maybe even this year). 

these are the start to 3d stars. they almost took as long as forming the deer.

so. much. time.

at this point in time, he's not fired yet, and i'm surprised he can actually stand.

those legs were (and are) extremely fragile when they're wet.

he was fired on his side, so that the legs could become sturdy, and i didn't attach the antlers (and one ear) because they too would have broken off.

horror story: the kiln heated up too quickly and things started exploding.
surprisingly enough, my piece didn't get the worst of it.
some people couldn't even find their project because it was in a big pile of pieces.
i had to go to lowe's to get spackling and epoxy glue. yeah, i didn't know what that stuff was.
but now i do... thanks to my broken deer.

all finished!
this final project had to be a pun, so i did starbucks, except there are many stars and one buck.

so it's a starsbuck.

 

 

 mask project: i made mr. tikki.

25+ pounds of clay later, my coiled pot was finished!

ten-sided project: it turned into more like a fifteen-sided piece. haha oh well.

my dad said it can be a fancy kleenx box. if it's not that, i'm not sure what it'll be used for.

hybrid project (we had to incorprate animal and plant features)

i made a girraffe tree. :) i'll admit, it's kinda weird.
