Ceramics theme outline-
I Theme
Similar structure with different glazes
-in terms of the way the projects are created – showing structure
-the painted glazes are simple in a way that shows off the structure of the project but also adds to the overall display.
Using dark colored stains to create simple glazings .
II What
set of bowls with similar shapes
III How
Two bowls These are painted with
Green glaze
Thrown projects with throwing marks that show how the projects were pulled up. The dark glaze engulfs the entire project.
Using large amounts of clay the projects must be made faster then one thinks so it does not collapse within on itself. Using the blue tool to create a nice shape to all the bowls. The simple glaze over the projects allows the observer to concentrate on the large structure of the project instead of overwhelming if with different glazings.
IV Why
Although most wheel projects reflect the process of a moving wheel as opposed to the motion of the potters’ hands moving up I have chosen to emphasize this by the simple glazes. These somewhat bland colors add color without completely taking away from the projects structure. The somewhat plain projects such as soft slabs, make an easier canvas to paint because of the variety of options to detail them with. Finally using a combination of techniques as well as splatter painting I have added to a complicated moving form – a teapot or pitcher – objects that are meant to pour liquid – what looks like a soft and moving part of the entire form.
V Conclusion
Although I have been painting on ceramic projects for a few months it is only this fall and winter that I have become aware that how the glaze affects the look of the structure and can really emphasize how the project was created. I also have become more interested in more complicated structures such as large pots – particularly ones like vases and bowls – these simple glazing adds to the simplicity of the very large projects.
