So this week we are doing presentations for the advanced kids and cleaning the room and what not. I am presenting tomorrow and I am really nervous because this is a sensitive topic for my to discuss.. we will see how it goes.
So this week I wasn't paying attention so much on my current are as I was on my AP pages for next year. This semester has been honestly the death of me.. It's been so hard and this class is my relaxing semi stress free period. Presentation are in a couple weeks and I am really nervous because I don't know how mine is going to go because I don't have that many projects to presents.
So the memorial that I am building is coming along very well! The construction kids have started to cut out the pieces needed and they are spending a lot of time on it. They are making things 3D and with negative space and it just turning out really nice! I am excited to see where its at when I paint it. Below are some pictures of the progress.
this week I am going to try and focus on making a clay model of the memorial that I'm building out of wood. I don't really know how the wood memorial is coming along. but I think it is coming along good... I hope.
So this week I hope to make a clay model of the memorial that I am building out of wood. I am going to post pictures of the progress of the wood one because the wood shop class has started to cut out the pieces of it. Super exciting!!
So this is what its going to look like on the wall. I talked to the construction teacher and he was really helpful on giving me a bigger visual to make me see it better. He is having some of his kids getting started on building it which I'm really excited because that means that it can be done by the end of the year :) . I will continue to post progress as it become a real life memorial.
So this post is a long one because I haven't blogged in awhile but I have gotten back on the wheel and making projects. I haven't got a lot of projects glazed but the plate that I made for hunter came out of he glaze kiln absolutely perfect. there is not one thing wrong with it. I have started building a 3D model for a memorial I'm making for Calvin permanently for the school. it's definitely taking up all my class time so I'm not using clay as much. this project also qualifies for my AP 3D art portfolio too. I will keep posting pictures as I go along with this process.
so this week I finally got on the wheel after 6 weeks and made a vase. and I put clear over the plate that I made hunter but I can't put it in the kiln because of the fire.. so I don't know when it's going to be done.. hopefully before hunters birthday
So this week I was planning to go on the wheel but my plate that I made for Hunter came out of the kiln and I glazed it, which took some time to do because I made sure that the flag was the right colors and everything. And today (3/20) I was going to put clear on it and put it in the kiln... but the fire alarm went off because our school caught on fire... very interesting
So this week I actually made a plate for my best friend, Hunter.. who was Calvins best friend before me.. but I made him a plate in memory of Calvin that I spent quite a bit of time on.. it is an amazing plate too. I hope he likes it. anyways I hope to get on the wheel within the week.
