Questions 1. Since my in progress blog post I have been firing my clay piece, dropping my clay piece, fixing it, firing it again. Then I did a base glaze. After I used a clear finish to make it look nice. 2. I found that the details stayed and the structure held up. I also think the color and glaze looks good. 3. If I could go back and do it again. I would put more detail into the face. I would also put two layers of glaze to make it thicker.

1. I plan on filling my piece up with something. Like candy or coins. To finish my piece I need to glaze it, fire it, and glaze it again. After that I will clean and prepare it for whatever goes inside. 2. The most difficult part so far was trying to make the fins stable. They were flimsy and not very strong. It was hard to make the fins strong because they were thin. I also attached the fins to the body when it was harder. 3. I have found that the general shape looks realistic. Everything is still in one piece and is in the glazing process. 4. So far I have cut and shaped my clay. I stretched and slipped the body to attach the smaller pieces. Then my piece was fired in the kiln. Now its in the process of being glazed. My piece shows of the theme of line because most things are symmetrical. I tried to make things straight lines. My piece was successful because it looked like what I wanted it to. The sketch looked fairly similar to the end result. If I could go back and change something. I would make something other than stars. I would also try to make the lines more distinct and neat. I used the second perspective while painting my piece. I took the photo in Washington DC, while on a family vacation in 2016. The most difficult part of this painting was the sky and grass. I tried to make it look real to the best of my ability, but it wasn't as good as I wanted it to be. They taught me to blend water and color to create designs. They also helped me understand the perspective I was trying to accomplish. I thought the Sunset warm up was most helpful to me, because it taught me to blend colors and how to make different shades and tones. I like versatile it is you can do so much with it. You can make water color look different. Water color is not very easy to cover up. If you mess up you can't just paint over it. 1. The most helpful warm up was the Tints and Shades. Because it taught me how to make different colors, and how to make value and detail into my painting. 2. The place I painted a picture of Duck Beach when I was there staying at a beach house. This was important to me because my whole family was there. It was fun and I made a lot of good memories. 3. The most challenging part of this painting was the water and the sand. It was difficult to try to make it look realistic. The amount of detail was a lot. 4. The most Successful thing was the bushes. I feel I got the best detail. It looked like the real thing. 5. The first thing I did was sketch the place, them put a base coat down. After Which I painted the main objects and details. At the end I added the last little details. 1. I learned a lot from these painting activities. I learned how to do different shading and values. I also learned how to do Tints, Shades and Tones. 2. The Tints Shades and tones will be most helpful to me when I am painting my picture. 3. I learned the most from mixing colors and making my color wheel. It was successful and it will definitely help paint in the future. 4. Some ways to make brown are mixing Yellow and purple. You could mix Blue and Orange. Or you could mix Red and Green. All of these mixtures would make brown. 5. To Tone down a Color you would add more of that specific colors opposite. So if you were toning down Green you would add Red. They are opposite from each other on the color spectrum. Which Warm up was most Helpful?The pen cubes were most helpful to me because it taught me how do do hatching, cross hatching, stippling and random. This then helped me to be able to do all of my drawings above. It will also be helpful in the future if I do any type of art. Composition and ValueComposition- The nature of something, whats inside or composes that object. Value- The degree of lightness or darkness of a particular color. Pros and ConsPencil- The pros of a pencil are you can work with it easy and you can erase if you mess up. Cons is it can indent the paper and requires lots of detail.
Charcoal- The pros of using charcoal is that it is super easy to fix mistakes and to redraw things. It also easy to show value with it. Cons its messy and smears. Pen- The pros of using a pen is that you can get a lot of detail from it and you can trace with pencil then go over it with pen. Cons that you can't erase pen and its difficulte to add value.

This work is inspiring because I love food and it's very original, I like how this artist did their own thing. I think this type of art is super cool, but I believe it would take a lot of skill.
