TIME LOG 14

This week i rakued all 5 pieces. First I had to figure out what i was going to glaze them to make them fit the theme. I decided on 2 different glazes (one mat and one glossy). Next I fired them. I was able to fit them into 2 individual firings. Next I cleaned each one and continued to break and chip them into smaller pieces. After this i started to piece them together again and wait on them to dry.

TOTAL HOURS= 14.5 hours

TIME LOG 13

this week i lived in the studio throwing the 3 other pieces, extruding pieces for the bottles and teapots, trimming, and carving. I then watched the pieces and fixed cracks from drying and loaded the pieces into the kiln... I should have a couple out ready to glaze tomorrow. I have been going through ideas on how to do the 2D compositions.

TIME LOG 9

This week i have found very very hard to focus on school, very very hard to manage 4 studios, and very very hard to work while not being in a classroom setting. I assumed that with a week off from school that i would come back fully motivated and ready to finish the semester strong; however, I was COMPLETELY wrong. This week i spent 5 hours thinking about each persons interviews, setting up the interview times, sketching the vessels, debating on mediums, ect.

TOTAL HOURS= 5 HRS

TIME LOG 8

TOTAL HOURS= 6

I wrote out interview questions that would lead the subject to answer questions relating to their physical and emotional qualities. I would use the answers to help me create a vessel that directly represented their aura but not necessarily represent their insecurities. I then interviewed myself, messick, and one of the girls. Once these were completed I then did sketches of their vessel.


SENIOR DRAWING CONTRACT

By the final critique i will have 5 completed compositions. These will consist of 3 individual pieces mounted on a wooded composition. There are two mixed media 2d pieces and a 3d ceramic vessel that will complete each composition.
