This is a ceramic cup. To create this, I first got a slab of clay and flattened it out with a rolling pin. Next, I placed a cup upon the clay and applied pressure to it to create the appropriate shape. Afterwards, I cut the cup outline using a pin tool. Then I attached each end of the clay together and used the excess clay to form the bottom of the cup. To secure my cup, I smoothened a thin layer of wet clay along the edges so that it wouldn't fall apart. Finally, I cut out a handle and attached it to the cup while adding a flower design on it.

This is a ceramic duck that I created at it's beginning stage. To create the ceramic duck, I first got a slab of clay and rolled it into a ball. Using a pinch pot like base, I then added a head, two wings, and a tail. To make the duck appear to have feathers I used a variety of tools to create lines all over the duck except for on the beak. Finally, I applied a thin layer of wet clay into the cracks so that it was properly sealed. The Duck is hollow in the middle because I wanted to store pens and pencils in it :) ! This ceramic duck appears to look a bit cartoon-like.

This is a shadow face portrait. Quite honestly, I haven't worked with shadows on a portrait, but for now, I hope I can get better at it in the future!  Anyways, to make this I used shades of pink, red, brown, and blue watercolor. On one half of the face I used dark blues to create a shadow effect for the eyes, lips, and nose.  I learned how to prevent the paint from bleeding through the paper with controlled and steady brush strokes. This picture appears peaceful and content.

This is a painted portrait from a photo I took in art class today. I used different shades of red, blue, yellow, brown, and pink. I made shadows and highlights specifically for the mouth, nose, eyes, and under the chin. I learned how to observe specific shapes within the face using a photo, which made it easier to identify. This picture has a cheerful look to it.

This is a realistic face drawing. It includes using different values of grey with pencils to sketch the appropriate proportions on a person's physical features with a variety of shapes. I also used shading to make the drawing appear more realistic as well. I learned how to also make some features of the face look three dimensional such as with the nose and mouth. This drawing has a cheerful look to it.
