This is my very tall project, its probably around 6.5 maybe 7.5 inches tall with a blue glaze on it and a smooth surface but a little rough at the handle. I glazed it by painting it black then painting it white because I couldn't dip it because it was too tall. One thing I learned it how to pull a wall without connecting my hands and still have balance. This has value because you look inside of it and it was dark and deep then on the outside it had large walls, you can also see scale because of the handle which is long and stretches the project. This shows how much I've advanced in a short amount of time and am able to improve by correcting myself on the spot.

This is my lidded project, it is glazed with black stripes and the surface is smooth with a height of 3/5 inches and a width of 3 inches. I glazed it by wiping black on the surface in lines then dipping it in white. One thing that I have learned from this is how to fit on a lid while making the project. This project shows contrast because of the clear glaze and the scrap black lines that go through it, then it shows balance to because there isn't any definition between the lines they all flow together on the white project. This project shows how things can be different in my ceramics work like I may be good at tal work but I'll suffer trying to make a fitting lid for a project.
This is a new bowl of mine where I tried opening the lip more. It's surface is smooth with a blue glaze on the outside with a black stripe going through the middle, it is 3 and a half inches tall and 4 inches wide from the outside of the lip. I glazed it by dipping some of the two half's in white then I left some of the middle with out black on it. One skill I learned was to pull out and over to make the lip smooth and end calmly. Value is shown by the light blue covering the black which makes it a very calming sight, and also shows contrast with the two unequal colors. This bowl shows how I can experiment with glaze to make new beautiful color like I got in this, though mixing colors doesn't always turn out well.
This is my third bowl of the year it is shadow green on the outside and brown on the inside with a smooth surface, it's about 2.5 inches tall and 3.5 wide. I glazed it by simply pouring brown glaze in the middle moving it around then pouring it out then dipping it not completely in shadow green. One skill I learned is pouring glaze only on the inside of the bowl. This has a bit of value in person because shadow green has hints of black and white then it contrasts the middle brown, and with that value there is contrast in the work. There is some significance in this but not much, but there is because I have got back into the theme of making bowls and coning my work.
This is my planter project it is smooth on the surface and has brown black and blue color. It's around 4 inches wide and and inch and a quarter tall. I glazed it by dipping half in white and half in black then re dipping the white side in brown which didn't blend as well as I had hoped. A skill I learned is how to pull the outer wall better. This project shows space because it has two walls to show growing and shrinking space, this also has contrast because of the three different colors that keep getting lighter going down. There is segnificance in this to me because I'm starting to perfect my skill at centering and making planters, not meaning im perfect at it just getting good.
