These are my pieces out of the kiln before any glazing or acrylic paint. I finished painting the pie and mug and I am waiting for a small human to retreat from the kiln so I can take my final final picture. I tried my very best on the craftsmanship behind my clay sculptures. I took my time, used tools, and it looks how I wanted it to. I say it was well executed. The most difficult part of this project was making sure the clay wasn't too thick or too thin. My color choices didn't go as planned. The orange and yellow glaze for the pie filling didn't come out of the kiln in the right color. I ended up painting over with a preferred color in acrylic. The colors of the mug don't exactly harmonize with the colors of the pie. These colors were used more to direct attention to the individual pieces themselves instead of a whole composition. I believe my sculptures make you think and wonder. They are interesting because they are questionable. 3D sculpting for me is much easier when you have an idea in your head on what to make. Drawing out the volume and texture of the object accurately must be more difficult than sculpting it. I created texture in my pie sculpture by balling up small bits of clay and sticking them along the crust to create a cooked, crisp effect to the pie. If a person were to look at my sculpture they would know it's a pie. I accomplished this with picture references of latticed pies. If I were to do something differently I would have taken more time on it.. I missed a few days in class and that really affected the outcome. It could have been painted much nicer with a more clever composition. I know this wasn't the best I could do.
