What unit did you learn the most from during the class?Throughout taking sculpture and ceramics, I learned the basic and fundamental elements of how to create and design wide varieties of clay pieces. The image to the right is my personal favorite piece I created this semester. The piece is called a tripod pot. Throughout learning how to create a tripod pot, I had many doubts that I could successfully create a pot because of how difficult it seemed to be. While sitting down and constantly trying to create a straight slab and fold the edges of the pot perfectly, I created a stable and unique piece that represents both my artistic taste and NCMA inspired work. I worked with design and smooth surfaces. I loved adding the eyes and I included two elements that I was not very comfortable with, 3D eye texture and the basic tripod. I believe this piece expanded my ability to create and I feel much more comfortable with clay overall. I loved taking sculpture and ceramics because I was able to do hands-on work and create pieces that I will use forever.
