Still Life

I drew a still life portrait with pastels.  My teacher put some objects in the middle of the table and I had to draw them from where I saw them.  Because I could only see the top of the vase from where I was sitting that's the only part of the vase I drew.  I liked drawing with the pastels but they would get all over the table.

I made a bowl out of clay.  The bowl couldn't be just a regular bowl.  It had to be organic.  First I took a some clay and flattened it.  Then I cut it into a shape and cut the shape out of the clay.  Then when the clay dried I painted it and put a design on it.  Then when the paint was dried I put glaze on it.  Then it will get put in the kiln.  I really liked this project.  My favorite part was getting to use clay.
