My artwork is a ceramic piece, a combined pinch pot to be exact. The ceramic piece is roughly the size of a baseball. I made this ceramic piece in my ceramics 1 class. It was a part of our criteria, during this time we were learning how to use the pinch pot technique. The pinch pot technique is to take a ball of clay, press your thumb firmly into the center of the ball, and pinch the clay ball’s walls with your thumb and forefinger. To make a combined pinch pot, you must take two similar pinch pots, score and slip the edges, then weld them together.
For my ceramic piece, our class had to make a combined pinch pot. I decided to make an animal, my combined pinch pot animal is a pig. My ceramic piece has different areas of texture, for example one of the ears are textured and the other is not. The materials I used for my ceramic piece were simple tools. Such as, a needle tool to make a holes, wood tools to weld my combined pinch pot, ribs to smooth out any rough edges, and a pencil for the texture.
There are many different shapes on my ceramic piece, for example I used circles ...
The Athenian vase can be identified as a red-figure Type B Kylix. The height of the vase vacillates between 12.1 and 12.3 centimeters, and the diameter of the foot is roughly 12.5 centimeters. Whereas the diameter of the mouth varies between 33.1 and 33.5 centimeters, the diameter with handles is close to 41.5 centimeters. The vase is completely restored, a condition in which pieces on the body of the vase are glued back together.
The metal cylinder was removed from the boiling water and placed in the Styrofoam cup using tongs.
Form a small hole in the middle of the ball and place the filling you chose inside. Then, you close the ball back up
Examining the formal qualities of Homer Watson’s painting Horse and Rider In A Landscape was quite interesting. I chose to analyze this piece as apposed to the others because it was the piece I liked the least, therefore making me analyze it more closely and discover other aspects of the work, besides aesthetics.

Though most works of art have some underlying, deeper meaning attached to them, our first impression of their significance comes through our initial visual interpretation. When we first view a painting or a statue or other piece of art, we notice first the visual details – its size, its medium, its color, and its condition, for example – before we begin to ponder its greater significance. Indeed, these visual clues are just as important as any other interpretation or meaning of a work, for they allow us to understand just what that deeper meaning is. The expression on a statue’s face tells us the emotion and message that the artist is trying to convey. Its color, too, can provide clues: darker or lighter colors can play a role in how we judge a piece of art. The type of lines used in a piece can send different messages. A sculpture, for example, may have been carved with hard, rough lines or it may have been carved with smoother, more flowing lines that portray a kind of gentleness.
It is molded with faience, which is a paste made of grounded quartz or sand with a high percentage of quartz (Stevens). Egyptian faience is a sintered-quartz ceramic displaying surface nitrification, which creates a bright luster of various colors, with blue-green being the most common.
It is a large bowl used to serve soups and other meals. You should choose one that has a bent handle to hook the spoon on the side of the pot to prevent
pushing on them with a hand, although some were large enough that one might need
Traditionally, chiminea were crafted from either El-Barro or terracotta clay. Crafted from wet clay, they are designed in two separate sections. The base or bowl or the chiminea is rounded, intended to hold the fire materials, and has an opening in the front. The stack, or neck, of the chiminea creates the draft and helps to direct the smoke and fire up and out, rather than out the front of the bowl.
Special effects makeup began with prosthetics and physical application, later evolving to mechanical apparatus concealed within the makeup, and eventually sensor compatible visual masterpieces. Various tools can be used to sculpt and design prosthetics and potential SFX possibilities. Some prosthetics were hand carved, cast, and then molded. There are elaborate processes that take multiple attempts, heaps of time, and an incredible amount of patience. There is a wide array of tools that can be used to help an artist sculpt. There are metal tools, plastic tools, and wooden tools. All of these tools have a specific use and a specific medium that they are compatible with. These tools can be used to mold clay, sculpt prosthetics, life cast, and

The first painting analyzed was North Country Idyll by Arthur Bowen Davis. The focal point was the white naked woman. The white was used to bring her out and focus on the four actual colored males surrounding her. The woman appears to be blowing a kiss. There is use of stumato along with atmospheric perspective. There is excellent use of color for the setting. It is almost a life like painting. This painting has smooth brush strokes. The sailing ship is the focal point because of the bright blue with extravagant large sails. The painting is a dry textured flat paint. The painting is evenly balanced. When I look at this painting, it reminds me of settlers coming to a new world that is be founded by its beauty. It seems as if they swam from the ship.
In the thirteenth century, Italians imported lots of ceramic goods from the Isle of Majorca, thus naming the pottery "majolica." It was later discovered that this type of ceramics probably originated in Mesopotamia or Baghdad, but the name was already used for so long that there was no point in changing it. The production of majolica is quite similar to ours at Ethel Walker, with a few differences. First, the clay is thrown on the wheel and dries naturally, then is fired. It comes out of the kiln in a red, terra cotta color, and is then dipped in either "smalto" or "primo blanco" glaze. Smalto glaze is a clear, enamel glaze, and primo blanco is a white glaze, literally meaning "first white" in Italian. These glazes dry quickly and have a powdery finish, so that when they are painted in detail, the colors will not run or combine. After they are dipped in the first glaze, most Italian ceramics will paint free-hand images on the pottery, or use the spolvero technique to stencil small holes into the ceramics, where they will paint repetitive, detailed patterns. To perform this technique, potters will prick holes through a paper stencil and onto the ceramic piece. Then they will dust charcoal through the p...
