Elf/Gremlin thing

This is the scared elf/gremlin. It starts off one way and goes in another way. 
The piece was fun to make used a lot of clay to make this little monster, 
I had to put a little Irish in to it because of my family back-round. 
I just wont to see this with the gloss over the top of this piece.

Life of Rock





I really liked how the dynasty red came out, it made the skull and the hand pop out from the piece and stand out as the main part of the piece. I also really liked how the under glazes came out.

Pac-man Glazed And Fired





I like the way the blues and blue-greens look against the dark browns. The browns really make the other colors glow. The glazes blended together well.

Infinity and Beyond

I chose a vast variety of colors to



Pac-man Glazed Not Fired




The glazes used are watercolor underglazes on Pac-man, the ghosts, the strawberry, and the thingy by Pac-man's open mouth, and overglazes on the background, which will be blue-ish, dark brown, and teal-ish. The watercolor glazes are similar to the actual colors in the old Pac-man game, except for two of the ghosts. The background is just me playing with different colored glazes.

Life of Rock






I mostly used under glaze for my tile pieces to make it seem worn out. I also added a dynasty red over glaze to the background of the piece, so that the main detail shows up without all the shiny glaze taking over the whole piece.

Clay Head



The mood of my Head+Shoulders is slightly happy, but concerned. It is shown by the sculpture looking up and smiling but having raised eyebrows and caring eyes.

Demon

After many weeks of hard work I have created a clay head and shoulders sculpture. This sculpture is riveted with designs covering its entire body, almost like a tattoo. The two horns located on the head give the sculpture a demon like appearance. -Tyler


Aw-Struck





For my clay head, I did a female figure looking off into space with an expression that suggests she's taken in by something in the distance. The theme I used was "Aw-Struck" so to speak. The hair is individual coils of oil, scored and slipped into place. The clothing is small pieces of slabs that have been decorated with texture and formed to look like fabric. The face is tool and hand crafted. I think the best part of this piece is the face.

Strange Head





The mood in this is creepy and wild. This is shown by the expression and scars.

Josh's Sculpture





The mood is care-free, the way I showed this mood is by the facial expression and the way the head is slightly turned to the left. I also showed the mood as care-free by making the sculpture's hair hang in his face as is he has not a care in the world.

Night Sky


 My theme is beyond, beyond the stars beyond the sun and beyond the galaxy. Space goes on and on forever.


Tiled Pac-man







My theme for this was the old arcade game Pac-man. The high point and my favorite part is Pac-man, himself, in the middle.
