UNIT 4 PROJECT
FOUR PIECES PROJECT
I did four plates shaped as hearts, with different colors; the pattern is the same, drawing hearts, then use different shade of the same color
to create a colorful pattern.
everything went as planned, but the blue shade hearts, which had a problem wit the purple color.
the shape are all the same, I used the western glaze and the low fire mix.
THE BUST
I made the bust with low-fire mix; my thought was to make a cartoon bust, with is why I did a really sharp and unrealistic nose; for the eyes I've done coins, one with the dollar symbols and one with the euro ones, same thing with the tongue.
I did big ears, in order to represent people that are listening just for money opportunities, and I did him bald because hairs are a "useless expense".
I did the mustache just because it made him look more shady and sketchy.
THE MASTERPIECE
I tried to recreate the masterpiece of Banski, the children with the balloon; unfortunately, I started getting sick right after having finished the piece but before getting it fired and by the time I was back in school the piece got cracked due to the time that had passed.
After receiving the permission from the teacher, I took a picture of this piece and then concentrate on the unit 5 project.
