This is the frankenpot that Rosie and I made together. I threw the top of the project and put it together, while Rosie threw the base and glazed it for us. Something I found rewarding was offering Rosie help with making the base but she was very determined to make it on her own, which I was proud of.
This is my two plates project thrown on the wheel. Both of the plates are 7.5 inches across and 1.5 inches tall. both of the plates have a smooth surface, but the left one has more of a rim than the right. The colors I used on these plates was a coating of white, followed by dabbing of red and blue on top. A new skill I learned while making these projects was using the calipers in order to measure an even eating area for both of the plates. An art element would have to be space, which brings out the design element of balance between the two forms. A feeling or mood I wanted to convey was patriotism. While I am not very patriotic, I liked the idea of eating on these plates during an event like the 4th of July.
This is my double wall project thrown on the wheel. The project is 4 inches tall and it has a triangular pattern carved into it to show the hollow space between the two walls. The colors I used on this project was a coating of white, followed by a dabbing of red, blue, and purple. A new skill I learned while making this project was actually learning how to execute a double walled project. A design element I used was pattern, shown by the repeating triangular pattern carved into the side. An art element was space, shown by the negative space between the two walls of the project and the triangle holes in the main wall. A feeling or mood I wanted to convey was curiosity and wanting people to try and think of how it is a single piece of clay, but there is space in the middle.
This is the frankenpot that Thomas and I made together. We had to have a two- person group due to an absence in our group. I threw the middle top pieces and joined it all, while Thomas threw the base and glazed it so we would be doing even work. I had a lot of fun making a very different shaped frankenpot this semester.
