| Here is a wheel-made altered vase which I have decided to use as an extra credit project. It is 3 1/4 inches both wide and tall; uses turquoise, black, and matte turquoise glazes; and is smooth and slightly glassy to the touch. During the making of this, I learned how to alter the neck of the vase so that it is distorted. The texture of the glazes in the vase differs between the inside and outside, and together they draw emphasis to the unusual-looking altered part of the vase, giving a more curious feeling to it. |

This is my planter, which I have made on the wheel. It is 4 1/2 inches wide and 2 1/2 inches tall; utilizes clear, turquoise, and green glaze; and is mostly smooth textured. In this project, I learned how to use cement to repair cracks in bisqued projects. An art element present in this is form, as it has both a cylinder shape and a plate shape. A design element present in this is emphasis, as the shallow bowl on the bottom of the planter beings attention to the taller, smaller cylinder at the top half of the planter. I intended for this to convey a utilitarian feeling as something that could be put to use because if the size of it is too small to hold a plant, it should at least be large enough to hold small everyday items.
This is an altered bowl and it is 5 1/4 inches at its widest and 2 1/2 inches tall; is glazed using black, white, clear, and cobalt; and has a smooth texture throughout. In order to make this, I learned how to alter projects after throwing. In this, the main art elements are value, shape, and color. Combined, the main design element that is present is balance, which is achieved through both the contrast between the black and white as well as through the bar of clear-colored glaze that separates the top from the bottom of the bowl. With this, I want to bring out a feeling of order, as the differing colors in the bowl are arranged in a way that separates out the different parts of the bowl.
I have made this cup using the wheel. It is 2 7/8 inches wide and 3 1/2 inches tall, is glazed using the scrap glaze, and is somewhat rough textured. In order to make this, I did learn how to pull a handle; however, I did not manage to attach it in time. In this, the main art elements would be shape and form. The main design element is balance, as the single color emphasizes the shape of the project. I wanted this to convey a feeling of unification by keeping it simple.
