Monster mug

I just started my monster mug the day we all got back from spring break and it is almost done. Although it didn’t take that long I still faced a bunch of struggles. One was to figure out how big my starting surface had to be and how much clay I needed. Once I had that figured out I needed to think of my design. I went for a normal face/weird look which I think I achieved.

Here is it currently


I am so close to finished my mug so I am going yo focus on painting and glazing it next week

I just checked up on my mug on Monday and I noticed that the handle came off. I learned a new way to reattach it so now that is it all back together I put it in the kiln. Now today it should be ready to come out just like another one of my projects. this week I am going to work on painting and glazing my mug so that hopefully  it will be able to hand in by Monday.

So my goals for this week would be:

  1. fixing it up
  2. glazing it
  3. then handing it in

Inquiry project

For my inquiry project I chose to do a painting. I really like to paint so that’s why I thought of painting right away. This is what I am going to for…

Coil Clay Pot


these photos above are photos of my clay pot taken from the black box. That is what my final product looks like.

These are recent photos of my coil pot. It is turning out pretty good in my opinion. Everything about it is good and the structure is very sturdy.
I am still working on it and it is almost done. I’m going to add some yellow to give it a brighter outside.

Here is my project finished.

This pot took me a pretty long time and I am proud of the progress I have made.

 

Core Competency (English 9)

This semester went by super fast and I feel like I did way better by the end of the course. This course has been super hard for me as I do not excel in any sort of English class. Even though I don’t do well I can connect with others as it is pretty easy for me to get along with others. I can acknowledge my strengths and abilities, when I can feel like I’m doing good I try to push myself more so I can achieve more. I feel like I can analyze my work and critique it to make it better. I feel like my work habits have changed a big amount from the beginning to the end of the semester.
