Cup and Plate Project
Green-wear:
glaze but not through kiln:
Describe: This is my Cup and Plate project. For my Theme i did the night sky. I used a black gloss glaze for the base color and outlined the stars and moon and colored them in with yellow gloss glaze. i used a pen tool to draw the mood and the stars. when i was painting the stars it was very challenging to keep the star shape, so the stars on the plate look like yellow orbs. i created the plate using a plate mold and letting the clay dry on top of it then taking it off. For the cup, i look a large flat piece of clay and connected it end to end then made a circular base then attached it.
interpret: The reason why i chose to do this theme of the night sky was because i love the night tune and i find the stars and moon very fascinating. The moon and stars were free handed and not inspired by any certain drawing or creation. i just used my knowledge of what i interpret the stars and moon to looked like and used that for the project.
Analyze: One principle of design is emphasis. There is emphasis on the yellow moon because it is larger than all the other stars. In general, the yellow moon and stars are emphasized anyway against the black background. Another principle of design is balance. There is a balance of stars on the cup and plate which makes them both not have any awkward blank space. There is an even amount spread out around the piece.
Judgement: I think for my first time making a plate and a cup mold that it didn’t turn out as bad as it could’ve. The mold turned out good and I was able to form the cup together. One thing i would’ve fixed would’ve been the glazing on both the cup and the plate. I felt like if i could’ve made the stars a little bit bigger on the plate that they would’ve turned out better. My strength would be the plate mold, and i could grow on doing the glazing better.
