I made the body of the whale using score and slip and then I created a pinch pot and placed it on top to make a sphere. Then I carved out out the top and sculped a tail and the side fins. After these steps I fired it once then i glazed the whale with blue crystaline glaze and fired it again. Finally I put black glaze on the eyes and mouth and covered the inside with clear glaze. I fired the whale in the kiln one last time. If I did my project again I might make the glaze more neat because it looks messy in some places. I really like how bright and colorful the glaze on the whale is and the shape of the tail. I am interested in taking sculpture class next year!! Inspiration: I saw a clay blue bird that was meant to hold plant and I liked the idea so I made it my own by making a whale. Ed Fairburn is an english artist who creates portraits out of maps. He uses the details in the maps also as details in the face. In order to get perfect results, Fairburn uses specific additive and subtractive techniques. I find his artwork inspiring because it is very creative and appealing to the eye. It's amazing how the map and the portrait become one. It's as if the map and portrait are two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together. These portraits are also environmentally friendly because they involve the reuse of old maps.
