This is my closed form project. Its a jelly bean jar because i absolutely love jelly beans so i made a jar with a fitted lid just to hold them. I glazed it in sydney blue and used black to stain the insides of the letters so they stand out from the rest. The glaze on the lid and very top of the jar didn't take very well so i have reglazed it and its on the shelf to be fired right now. The art element used is shape the whole project is made using one solid piece of clay. The design element is harmony, the whole project is glazed in the blue to lend a smooth and finished texture which adds to the attractiveness of the piece as a whole.

This is my lidded project for the first quarter. One of my favorites that i have made so far. The lid is made using the double wall technique so that there is a indented hole to use to pick it up yet it doesn't show through. I really liked throwing this project, I feel as though this is some of my best work and i have gotten back into the swing of things in ceramics. The art element is shape, the project and the glaze used make is very asthetically pleasing. The design element is flow, the whole thing really comes together and looks great.
This is just something i threw for fun and it turned out super cute. I tried a new glazing technique by glazing it one the wheel with shadow green and tomato red. The art element is form and the design element is is balance.
This is my large bowl. Its a little late because I got confused with the rubric and thought that i had to do two small and one large bowl. So its done now and i am very happy with the way it turned out. Its 3 1/2 by 5 1/2 inches, glazed first in clear and black one the bottom, i also side dipped two thirds of it in shadow green. The art element used is line, the clean lines created by the simple glaze add to the uniqueness and design of the project. The design element is rhythmn, the project being split into thirds when looking from above. Two of those third are taken up the shadow green glaze. The mood is modern.
This is our group coil project, we made it using a combination of vashon white and vashon orange clay. It was made for Mandy to keep on her desk for holding pens and whatnot. This was a gorup effort for the most part although Riley was absent most of the time. Cj made the coils and i put them together. WE glazed it using brown and green. The art element is color, and the design element is form. The colors work well with the purpose of the project and the form is near perfect for a coil pot. Its not as tall as it could be but its ok.
These are my first three projects of the semester, two bowls and one large bowl. For the first black bowl the art element is form, the bowl is very centered with good form and shape. The design element is unity and harmony, a aspect that the glaze lends to the project. For the second bowl, the blue and white one the design element is color, i really love how the glazing turned out, dripping is one of my favorites and a constant theme in my work. The art element is value, the lightness of the base contrasts with the darker blue drip and lends a pleasing contrast to the eye. For the last large bowl, the art element is space, i accidentally did a ugly brown/black glaze in the beginning so I covered it in white glaze and splatters purple glaze over that. The end result was a very pleasing contrast, which is the design element I've chosen for this project. The mood for all these is intriguing, they all work well as a contrasting set, and are currently at use in my house :)
