Tray and Bowl

I liked the hump mold process we used for this. I think this process improves your chances of having a successful turn out.  I love how my pieces turned out because of the glaze I used. I used a crystal glaze that gave my pieces a unique look. I didn't use underglaze just regular glaze. The bowl shape and detail was successful and the glaze was successful. In the future I would spend more time on the plate I could have smoothed out the sides and given it more time and attention.

DWELLING PROJECT-
The most challenging part of this project was cutting the plexy glass. It was difficult at first trying to cut straight lines and then bending them so they would break cleanly. I had to sometimes cut extra pieces when they didn't break they way I wanted them to. This project was one of my most successful projects so far, I like how clean and perfect it looks. The marble windows were successful and the walls were too. In the future I wouldn't change anything in particular, I would just add more details to it.

Between the Folds

I thought this documentary was pretty interesting. I liked how the folders used math, art and computers to change simple white paper into all types of amazing oragami. It was amazing to see how the folders create wonderful "paper sculptures" without adhesive or cuts.  I think Vanessa Gould was ingenious to make this type of documentary to show people how much more than just folding paper oragami is.
