Unit 5 Prjoects

For the Small Bust Project, I wanted to create a mixed version of two hip-hop artists. I also wanted the face to have a very defined jawline and defined cheekbones. I think that the piece turned out well however I think that I could have made the ears look a little more realistic. (I made the piece a brown color to represent the two artists I was recreating and there is no deeper meaning to my piece.) I used the the glazes: Java Bean, Black, Hot Tamale, Blush, Bright White, and Irish Luck. The piece fired at the glaze cone 05-06.

For this project I was orginally stuck on how I wanted to go about this project but I saw a classmates mask durring class and I though it looked good so I decided so make mine similar. My mask is more for show as it doesn't actually fit around a face but it can be hung up by using the eye holes. I didn't know what glazes I wanted to use for the piece so I chose four random color which were: Orange-A-Peel, Rosey Posey, Gray Hare and Grapel. The mask was fired at the glaze cone 05-06. 

For my useful piece I wanted to make somethig simple that had a cool design on it. I ultimitely decided to make a small coaster with a logo from the Daytona Tortugas which is a professional baseball team. I am very happy with the way this piece turned out since it was kind of difficult to paint the smaller detailes. For this piece I used the glazes: Blue Yonder, Irish Luck, Green Thumb and Bright White. The piece was fired at glaze cone 05-06.

I decided to recreate the Nokia 3310 for my current artist inspired. I did this because I believe that the phones that are being created today are works of art and they are not only very powerful, but they look amazing. I wanted to make this piece because the Nokia was one of the first mobile phones ever and I wanted to recreate its beuaty. For this project I used the glazes: Black, Orange-A-Peel, Irish Luck, Java Bean, and Moody Blue. This piece fired at the glaze cone 05-06.

For my alibrije, I wanted to make a dog becuase I have two dogs at home and I have always had dogs in my life. I wanted to make this piece pop with color and have a unique color set. I am happy with the way this piece turned out and there isn't anything that I would change about it. The glazes that I used were: Sunkissed, Irish Luck, Green Thumb, Blue Yonder and Hot Tamale. The piece was fired at the glaze cone 05-06.
