2/22/2019 - This is the progress I have continued with my bust in class. I was very very frustrated with the head and face last week so I completely took off the head, reshaped it, fixed the neck, and reattached it. I think that the head looks much much better now and I think that I actually made some good progress in developing the face. The penguin is a piece that I glazed last week and Im extremely happy with how it looks now that its fired. I used a gloss black and gloss maize yellow for the back and head. I used a transparent matte for the front belly part. I think that the contrast is really interesting and gives the piece a bit of personality. I gave it to a friend who really likes penguins.

2/14/2019 - This is the progress that I have made on my bust in class. My shoulders were way too wide for my head and the face I made was too small for my head. I feel like this progress on the bust is much better and I feel like my neck and shoulders look about right. Looking at my face at the end of class I decided that I didn't like it very much and I took it off the bust. I'm just going to have to redo the nose because I feel like that was the best feature of the face I had before. I feel like if I make the proportions of the face bigger, it will actually look proportional with the size of the bust.

2/8/2019 - This week I continued to work on my bust. I started to define the features because i liked the look of the shoulders and the head is well supported. Throughout the week I made the nose look a lot better and I've begun carving out the eyesockets and creating the mouth. This photo was taken on tuesday and i did more work on thursday.

2/2/2019 - This is the beginning fo my bust sculpture. I did this on tuesday of this week and on thursday you told me that my head needed to be bigger or else all of my facial features will be too small. I like the proportions of this piece but decided to make everything bigger so i am currently working on recreating the proper proportions for a bigger head and shoulders.

2/2/2019 - These pieces are what i worked on after christmas break. When Mrs Girman was subbing These were my first attempt at some of the assignments assigned. I was going to make some kind of animal out of coils but then it didnt turn out quite right so i put it in the slop bucket. The next pictures are my second attempt at making an animal. The body was made from pinch pots but they were too heavy and the body was too fat for any type of legs to hold it up, I also scrapped this piece. My third and final attempt went a lot better. I made an emporer penguin from pinch pots put together. I really like the way it looks but i wasnt able to get a picture of it before it was put in the kiln to be fired.
