Steps to finish
1. Glaze 2. Paint on acrylics 3. Put on finish I found it difficult to create the dome for the lid. I found it difficult because the clay was constantly drying out and cracking as I tried to thin it out. I also found it hard to attach the arms because they were so heavy. I'm happy with the outcome of the minion's overalls and the details on them. Process 1. Rolled out clay slab 2. Stretched rolled out slab around cylinder mold. 3. Used scratch and slip technique to score on base of box 4. Created the lid using pinch pot method 5. Created additional pieces (eye piece, overalls) by cutting out of clay slab 6. Rolled clay to create arms and hands 7. Used wet brush to smooth out 8. Fired in kiln

1. I used watercolor for the background, acrylic for the border around the spheres, and colored pencil for the spheres. I chose watercolor so I could blend the colors to create a galaxy effect, acrylic paint so I could make the spheres pop against the background, and colored pencil because of the vivid colors.
2. In my piece, I combined together the deathstar from Star Wars and the world. My Process
My favorite medium is colored pencil because I like the amount of control you have over the material. I also love how colored pencils present all the advantages of pencils with the additional benefit of vibrant colors.
My least favorite medium is charcoal because I find it difficult to create the shading I want in addition to the shape I want. |
