This is the Firm Slab Box that I made. Some new techniques I used when making this was drying out the clay before using it, cutting the edges that met other clay at a 45 degree angle, and also using small lines of clay to make the joining places smoother. I also put small balls around the outside of the box partly for a better holding place for the box, and partly to have a 3D aspect on the box. I found the overall project easy to  understand and more or less easy to do. The only difficult part was using clay to smooth the joining places, but even that wasn't very difficult. 

In my opinion, my pinch pot animal after being in the kiln for the first time turned out great! Every piece that was meant to stay on did, including the teeth that I expected would fall off because they are so small. What I believe I did correctly was scored and slipped what I wanted to stay on, and I also put the hole in the bottom of the pinch pot so it is still there but isn't noticeable from the front. I hope it will stay intact like this for the next glazing and next firing.

This is the Summative paragraph for the painting I did of Kenna Alston. I learned some knew skills such as using lighter and darker colors of a base yellow-brown to show the shadows and light parts for her hair. I also used light colors like white mixed in with the pink to create the highlights on her lower lip. I also learned how paint a mouth and teeth I tot he drawing and make them look realistic. I learned how to create a skin color by using green, red, and white and using more white and blue to tint and shade the color when necessary to show the shadows and lighter areas of her face. With this painting I was able to show 3-D features and shadows to create a realistic human face.

I can re-sketch my pencil drawing for a painting with the correct proportions – head shape & feature placement- 5

I can softly define features with the correct size in relation to each other and the head- 5

I can create a unified image with a sense of emphasis on the face or part of the face.- 5

I can indicate three dimensions by using complementary colors for shadows and highlight.- 5

I can paint with defined brush marks so I create clear textures for skin, hair and any other details.- 5
