Life Below Water

March 1st, 2023

Week 4

  • Provide details in 1-3 sentences about the threats to this creature.

Threats that this creature are involved in are over fishing, which contains being stuck into fishing nets, garbage in the sea can kill the fish, and oil leak can also kill the fishes in the sea.

  • Provide details in 1-3 sentences about the solutions to these threats.

The solution to these threats is to stop bringing any kind of garbage into the sea, and always check your boat or vehicle to make sure oil, or other liquid substance that could hurt underwater creatures does not leak through.

Monster Mug Purpose

  • Be sure to make an Edublog journal entry where you show pictures of your plan. Include 1-3 sentences describing your plan.

My inspo for my “Monster mug” is Mike Wozowski. And for the texture of the clay I will be putting bumps to make it more texturized. The colours I chose for the inspo are green, blue for the eyes, creame colour for the inside of the cup and the bumps will be pink.

During the progress I thought to change some parts of my “monster mug” which were the colours I wanted to use and how I wanted it to look like. I used light orange for the base of the mug and red for the spots around the mug.

Inquiry Term-Long project

What would you like to investigate/make as a term-long project?

For my term-long project, I would like to make a heart cup for a friend of mine.

  • What do you need to get started?

To get started I need to use the skills I learnt from making my “monster mug”

  • How would you begin the project?

I would start by building the base of my cup, then shaping it into a heart.

Sgrafitto Tile

My inspo idea that I came up with are flowers, my group and I planned to connect our tiles by drawing lines so it perfectly connects to one another. I learnt the term wedging and how to underglaze.

During the progress I had learnt how to underglaze and wedge the sgrafitto tile. The challenges I overcame was using a tiny needle to make lines and I thought that it took a while for it to be the way I want it to be.
