For this art project, we worked with clay! We used a template to cut out on a slab of clay and then built the bowl from there. Before building the bowl however, we were able to choose stamps to stamp onto the sides of the bowls. After the bowl was built, we chose a word to put at the bottom of the bowl. I chose the word, “free.” The pot was fired and then glazed, then fired again!
The idea behind the artwork was kind of random. I just thought of things on the spot and didn’t do much planning before. I chose to do the hearts because it was close to Valentine’s Day and I thought it would look cute. I chose the word “free” because that’s what I hope to be one day. Lastly, I decided to do matte colors because no one else in my class did matte and I wanted to be unique!
Overall, I really enjoyed this project, I thought it was creative and fun. I loved using different stamps to create the textures and I especially enjoyed glazing! Although it was a short project, I enjoyed it a lot!
