May Post

*Pictures are in the Final Grade Post*

I really enjoyed making both the Animal and Bowl Projects, I was able to be challenged to figure out how to make the body of my animal and for the bowls I was able to practice centering the clay. I mostly had a difficulty time with the Animal Project managing my time and being able to progress through out to have the animal in on time and be able to move to the next project. I was able to overcome time management by really focusing on making the body and make a quick sketch and not try to make the body perfect and worry about every detail.  For the Bowl Project the most challenging part was centering the clay and making the walls of the bowls not too thin.  I was able to overcome this obstacle by having the help of Mrs. Gleeson explaining me the steps of how to center the piece, and for not making the bowl wall too thin I had to be patient and feel the clay when making it bigger and taller. Overall I was able to complete both projects and at the same time better my hand making skills.
