For my theme this semester I did not make a lot of projects because I was on the wheel for about 6 weeks.
The projects that I did make, some were out of clay and others are not but are part of my theme. The clay project for my theme was a plate that I made for my best friend, Hunter, who was Calvin's best friend. The plate had a flag on it with Calvin's name and date and on the sides of the flag it says models of trucks that he had and its says dirt roads and country country on it too. The other project that I am currently working on is a memorial which isn't made out of clay but a model of it is made out of clay. I am making it for Calvin. All my projects are made for Calvin this semester.
For the plate, I rolled out a slab of porcelain and then carefully carved all the details in to it. For the glazing, I glazed the flag red, white, and blue and then I used black stain to the models of the trucks and used red stain for the lip of it. For the big wood memorial, obviously it is made out of wood, but I'm making it 3D so it will look really good. It is hard to explain with out pictures so I will explain when I put pictures up.
The projects that I made this semester are important because it shows all the struggles that I've been through in my life and how much it has affected and changed me as a person.
