growth!

this year i am a senior and i have realized that i am a completely different person from who i was even 3 months ago. i am severely busy this year, yes even worse than last year so AP 3D studio art (pottery!) is going to be imperative in my life. art for me pulls everything back together, it centers me and brings a small bit of peace to my day. i need this class because i find it therapeutic to use the frustrations but also it brings another set of

accomplishment. since i am reflecting, i looked

through my book from last year and there were a few good pages defiantly however i found myself b.s.ing most of it. now, art is real it isn't just another class to fill the 6th hour spot in my schedule. i am learning but i do know that i am in the process of becoming an artist and knowing that there is a drive and a will to learn will always be enough.

these were the very first project that i did when i joined advanced pottery and the goal was to make a set of 6 cups with handles. the form does not flow, i was obviously experimenting with glazes and they weighed probably 2 lbs each. i like to critique my work becuase then i know what i need to work on and what i can improve. i keep this picture becuase everyone should know where their journey started.

this project was a coupling project which was at the end of the year. you can see a HUGE difference between the set of 6 and these. i finally reached my goal of my own style that i actually like. these cups had the hour glass form that i love, are a matte white glaze which is the most beautiful thing i think and they were also lighter. even my photography skills in the cube improved ! :) hehe
