6 Brainstorm ideas: right-20 inspirations -clay whale -found obeject made out of a bandaid box -little paper mache cactuses -paper mache hot air balloons -an anchor clay box -tiny folded up spirals that make up a bowl Clay box tutorial videos: www.youtube.com/watch?v=HNYuiE5vbIg www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAGcjoFPj6w full page sketch: Materials: clay, glaze, carving tools, and slab roller I made a clay whale that is meant to hold plants. 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.
