1. some of the tools i used were the pottery wheel, hot glue gun, and a ribbon tool. the pottery wheel helped me a lot with my pouring vessel project. I used the wheel to make all 3 cups and the vessel itself. it was very fun to use but also difficult to get the hang of. centering is very hard. the hot glue gun helped me with the wearable art project, the repitition project, and the object to art project. I learned that hot glue guns have multiple uses. you can use it to glue things together but also to make holes. the ribbon tool helped me a lot in my surrealism project. I used different sizes of tools to sculpt different parts of the cat’s body and different details on the cat. 2. my knowledge of the pottery wheel changed since the beginning of the semester because i used it a lot more than i ever had. I used it once in sculpture 1 but i barely made a cup. i used a lot more tools than i ever have especially in the surrealism project because i tried really hard to do anything i could to make the cat look as real as possible. Which project was your most successful? Describe the theme and or topic and the process you went through to complete the project. my most successful project was object to art. I made an elephant out of an old clock. my process was I used cardboard to cut out the shape of ears and build a foundation for the trunk. I used an empty aluminum foil roll to make the tusks. After I had all my pieces together, I glued the tusks and the ears to the clock using hot glue. I paper mache’d the outside of the trunk, the tusks, and the ears with newspaper. After that dried, I started painting the ears, the trunk and the outside of the clock gray, and I painted the tusks white. I added dark gray details to the ears and the trunk and painted on nostrils. Then, I used a glass etcher to be able to glue my trunk to the glass of the clock face. 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 least successful project was my underglaze project. I had to finish it very quickly so i tried to go fast and ended up breaking my plate 3 times. i got very stressed towards the end and it came out messy. There was a crack in the plate and the colors didn’t come out like i hoped. If i were to do this again, I would take more time on it and be more careful. Choose a place or artwork where the subject matter reflects you as an artist. One that you have a personal connection to. Please explain.
I have a personal connection to my surrealism project. I made my boyfriends cat, Pepper. Pepper was very important to him. He got her when he was 4 years old so she had been in his life through everything. When he felt like he had nobody, he always had Pepper. A few weeks ago, Pepper had been diagnosed with cancer and they said she had a month to live. They had to put her down last week and he felt lost without her. I decided to make this project in tribute to the angel that Pepper was.
