ceramics

I'm really liking my ceramics class and this is the first project we did. the project was self portraits and we were supposed to tell something about ourselves with it. it was really open ended but i chose to do a traditional self portrait with the thing i was revealing being more abstract. I haven't worked with clay in a couple of years and i've never done anything like this so i'm happy with the way it turned out. it hasn't been fired yet because it's still drying but i'm just praying it doesn't explode in the kiln.

"Nobody knows it but me"

Finally!!!!!! i finished my series just in time to submit my portfolio next week. i'm so glad I managed to finish it and i'm pretty impressed with myself for completing 3 pieces in such a short time, that being said I think they could have been a lot better. i was definitely really ambitious with taking these on. i had to rush through them and i think it shows, especially with the last one, but i'm just glad i got them all done!

Life Drawing

my life drawing class has been going ok, it's not the best class ever and i'm not loving it as much as i wanted to. we started out using charcoal, and than black and white, and then added brown with those, and then we did pastel, and now we're using ink. it's cool that we are trying out different mediums but once i feel like i kinda get the hang of it we change to something new.

i havn't really gotten much worthy of posting but this one. we usually have two models and one of them is always the same girl, and this may sound weird but i don;t like drawing her and none of my drawings of her ever come out good :/ this drawing isn't of her, that's why i don't hate this one. there is some really talented people in the class though, i still have a long way to go for sure.
