1. Two tools that I used this year are the pottery wheel and the ribbon tool. The pottery wheel was so much fun even if I only used it twice, and I used the ribbon tool to sculpt and shape my piece. The wheel is used to physically sculpt a piece. The ribbon tool is to carve into an already made piece. It can add designs, like how I used it in sgraffito, or it can sculpt and change a piece like how I used it on the wheel. 2. My knowledge of tools has changed tenfold since the beginning of the year, because I had never used any sculpting tools at the beginning of this year, and now I have experienced a wide range of tools and integrated them into my art. 1. Regardless of whether you liked or disliked a project, which one did you learn, grow, or developed the most from? Please explain. I learned the most from the papier mache project. it was painful for me to do becaus of all this tedious effort and the mishaps that occurred. Despite all of that, I finished the piece. It wasn’t great by any standard, but it was finished. 2. What is a technique you used in your artwork that worked well? Explain what technique it was and why it was successful. Something that I learned to do very well this year was delicacy. I needed delicacy for my paper project, for my sgraffito, and for my pottery wheel piece. It is something I struggle with as an artist, and this class really allowed me to be careful and tedious and put tremendous effort it. 3. Choose a place or artwork where the subject matter reflects you as an artist. One that you have a personal connection to. Please explain.
An artwork that I made that I have a personal connection to is the egg bowl sgraffito sculpture i made. My grandmother and grandfather used to have a bowl filled with decorated eggs in their house, and this year, my Grandfather passed away. I felt like I needed to make something to honor him. I feel like I did so in this piece.
