This is my sketch. This is my linocut block. This is my best print. I used lines in different directions to show specific parts of my design. The horizontal lines are the wall. The vertical lines and the spiral lines show the shape of the clock.
I kind of like how the design came out. The print pretty much shows the details of what I expected. If I were to do it again, I would've flipped the block the other way when I printed it. I also wish I would've added numbers to the clock, but I was nervous that I couldn't do it right. Sadly, I ended up having a clock without numbers, but I think you can see that it is still a clock even though the hands are kind of blurry. I'll do better next time.

I made a clay box with a lid. When it is out of the kiln, I will paint it bright colors. I am going to use this for storing supplies (like pencils) inside. I found mostly everything difficult. When merging the sides of the box, I was afraid they were going to break. I had extra clay at the end, so I made a lid topper, which was successful.
I started with a slab of clay for construction of my box. Using a cutting tool, I cut the slab into six pieces. I put together four sides of the box using sprayed water. I put the four merged pieces onto the fifth (bottom) piece. Finally, I used the sixth piece to make the lid, adding the extra piece of clay on top for a lid topper. I used another cutting tool to decorate the whole box. I think my decorations were successful. My greenware is currently being fired in the kiln. I can't wait to see what it looks like when it comes out! When I'm done painting, it is going to look AWESOME! This was the mind map for the project. This is the most helpful warm up. This is the WIP of the painting. This is the final piece. This is Squish the Bug. He is a character that my dad once came up with and I liked it.
Other designers used recognizable animation while I created my own. I drew out the sketch, then started to use the watercolor on Squish himself. Then I did the scenery. The watercolor was a bit leaky, so take your time when working with this medium. |
