Final critiques begin

See you tomorrow at 11am sharp for Advanced Critiques and Beginning/Intermediate Critique of Two or More Heads.

Be ready to answer:

1. Looking back on the semester what do you think you learned in terms of your work (technique, content, skills) that was a success and what can you still push yourself to do better? Be thoughtful and self critical.

2. Please think of an example of at least 2 people in the class that grew in their work/skills or did something differently than you might have in relation to a project this semester. Think of clear examples that help that person to realize what they did and why it was interesting and well done.

cake and flowers oh my!

Check out my research for you on Pinterest and look at this amazing multi-use flower brick! Images courtesy of last semester's visiting artist Louise Rosenfield!

Lowfire terracotta in 3 parts

The bottom flips over to become a serving tray as well as a flower brick stand.

Thanks Adrianna for this laugh!

Remember if you want glaze for after the bisque firing of your 2 or more Heads Bust head to Trinity. They have a great selection of lowfire cone 04 clear and satin glazes. As well as different colors and textures. Just make sure they are lowfire o4!

I'll update this over the weekend and your research and ideas will be due Thursday Nov 6th at which time I'll give a power point to inspire and we'll do a small in class project. Remember your busts are due Tuesday at the start of class and since we'll have a visiting artist that day your work should be placed uncovered in the back room on the counter (I'll show you) Focus and work hard and check back before class on Tuesday for the final project to be announced!
