The past two weeks I have been working on a clay figure. I chose to do someone setting a volleyball because I am a setter. I really enjoy the sport volleyball so I feel like this turned out to be a really good figure. I made each part of the body separately and then used scratch and score to connect all the pieces. I used slip to stick the pieces together and yes it was a struggle because of all the weight standing up. As you seen in my most previous blog, this is a different figure only because it was too heavy. I ended up having to redo the first one and having to make this one way more light so it wouldn't fall over again. I ended up making the head way more light and the feet and legs more big. By making the feet bigger and the legs, it gives it a good structure to hold up the upper half of the body. For the first target I created a volleyball clay sculpture. This is meaningful to me because volleyball is the only sport I am in and I am a setter. I consider people who like or play volleyball would be the best audience for my artwork. I think that people will like this if they are in volleyball because they would find more interest than if someone who is not in volleyball. I will present my artwork because it could have more meaning then. A way that I presented that enhances the communication is by explaining how this artwork connects to me and how it may connect to other people. By doing all these things I believe I made a meaningful artist statement.

The past couple of weeks we have been working with clay. For the clay unit I made a soap holder which is the monster, and I also made a mug. For the soap holder I used the pinch pot method and for the cup I used the slab method. I glazed them with a red and green color. I am actually pretty happy about how the mug turned out but if I could change one thing it would be the color because it became a little darker than I wish it would have. For our figure artwork and am working on a girl setting a volleyball because that is my favorite sport. The reason I decided to do this was because I am a setting in volleyball and it would best represent me. It is not going the best because it is pretty hard to stand up on its own but I rebuilt the parts to make it stand way better. It is starting to look way better and I am happy. I hope this turns out how I have planned!!
