“I have built many castles, but they have all been of clay.”

-George Ohr-O’Keefe

Welcome to my blog! Here I’ll post the art pieces that I’ve worked on throughout the week for classes, personal art projects, and more!

Works of the Week

Animation

  • Charcoal Animation

    This week in my studio two class were working on charcoal animations. For this project, we had to create a 30 to 90 second video depicting change. I chose to animate a coral reef growing slowing over the course of many years. Then, a scallop dredging ship is going to come by and wreck it. Scallop dredging is a terrible fishing industry practice where ships scrape large nets along the seafloor to catch certain seafood. It kills many corals, plants, and animals in its path.

Ceramic forms

  • pinch Forms

    For the first couple of weeks in my ceramic class, we have been working on pinch form (basically bowls). To make a pinch form, you take a ball of clay and create a hole in the middle with your thumb, then work the edges around the hole with your hands until they become the thickness you want them to be. We had to make ten identical pinch forms for class. Now, were using them to practice different ceramic techniques
