This is my second bowl in ceramics, the glaze is black and the size is 4 inches tall and 4.5 inches wide. The surface is smooth and nothing sticks out. I glazed it by drawing on many coats of black, there is three Chinese words that together mean I love her. then I dipped it in clear glaze. One skill that I learned while doing this is how to write and have it show up on projects. This project shows line well because its the main part of this as it drags your eye around the middle and through the figure. I almost like to say that this has balance because when I think of Chinese I think of the samurai and the great balance they had within kind of like this project how I let the brush glide my hand as I drew the figures. This project gives me the feeling of holding on to love just because this is in stone and meaning that the statement I made will last a long time and not fade.

This is my cup with a pulled handle project it is about 2 and a half inches tall and a inch and a half wide wit ha small handle and a smooth surface. The color is on the exterior is a thick coat of black and on the interior is white. I glazed it by pouring white into the middle then just angling it to cover the inside then I dipped it in black without letting it get inside. One skill I learned is how to pull a handle using water. There is great value shown in the project with the white interior and the black exterior and a some what blue liner under the lip, then there is good contrast in the project using those two colors that are opposites. One thing that I show by making is project is that there's always a light to a dark and there is always some darkness in light but there is always a balance between both.
This is my first bowl project (the photo didn't come out that great) it is black on the outside then painted white on the inside then black covering it. Then its like 2 and a half inches tall with 3 inches wide and you can feel the line value in the surface. To glaze it I painted on two coats of white glaze on the inside then a coat or two of black on the inside then dipped it in black but only covering the outside. A new skill I learned was to kind of engrave lines into the side of it while footing. Line value makes your eye wrap around the project and you can feel the contrast on the outside wall when you pick it up. This project to me shows like a dark nigt with the night sky on the inside of the bowl.
This is my vase, it took me a few attempts to throw one in the shape I wanted and this is what I got. Its a runny blue and smooth with a height of 3.25 inches and a width from the lips of about 1 inch. I glazed it by dipping it in white then once it dried dipping it in black then firing it. A new skill I learned it to pull the lip out before it end to make it look better. Shape plays a big part in this because the basis of making a base is to make a abstract shape, so this one has a thin bottom then rises high and ends calm with the lip. There is good balance through out the project because when you pick it up you can feel that it is very evenly dispersed with clay to form it. The idea or feeling I get from this project is creativity because I really got to do something creative to me with the shape even though the glaze was kind of plain and something I've previously done.
This is my second Finished Wheel Project, the surface is a feel-able thick but smooth glaze its green and white color. This size is three and a half inches tall and two inches wide. I glazed it by dipping half of it in white the dipping the other half in shadow green it turned out semi good but not great. One new skill I learned was how you can center the project while footing it which is very useful. Color is big element in this because it makes the project have like a dark side and a light side, also this shows balance in the color way because it has half and half colors not just one dominating one. The meaning of this project to me is like it the forest and the white is us consuming it and the green is the remainder, There is still a well amount left but we have consumed a vast amount of what it once was.
This is my Finished Wheel Project it is around 3.75 inches tall and the surface is a smooth straight wall. The color was black stripes and dots brushed on with a white coat of glaze over it. I glazed it from really just letting the brush glide across the surface not really having a goal at what I want to paint, then I dripped black glaze in the middle and dipped it into white glaze. One skill I learned was how to drip paint which I will use more often now. This project has line value because of how it make your eye be drawn around the whole project, and unity because the colors really go together and make it smooth and not over powering. The importance of this project was that this is my first project back and getting back into ceramics so its important to me for that.
