I made a clay box that looks like a die. My process was to make a cube with sides of equal length and width. Then I carved circular dents into the sides to represent the dots on a die and cut a lid around the top dots. I was inspired to create this piece because I thought that carving the lid around the dots in a die would make for a creative and interesting design for a clay box. What I found most successful about my piece was the shape of the cube and the way I cut the lid out. If I were to do this again, I would definitely change the way I did my glaze. First of all, I would have used a specific glaze for the whole piece so that the colors are consistent and I would be more careful to not get glaze between the lid and the base so that they don't stick together in the kiln. I would sign up for sculpture class if I could, but I don't have enough classes left to fit it in with the classes that I need for college requirements.

Process:
I incorporated the theme of lines into my piece as the suspension cables in the bridge. The thing I found most successful about my piece was the contrast between the black and white and the depth. Something that I would change if I were to do this again would be to try to have cleaner cuts in some areas by including less detail in some areas to minimize mistakes. Also, I would probably add more detail to the water to make it flow better with the image. |
