This is one of my cat and dog dishes. The task was to create a bowl for dogs or cats at the shelter, the key skills and knowledge in this project included coils. Some important clay and design skills that this work addressed included smoothing out the edges of the coils to blend together. In my final product, you will notice that I succeeded in was the colors I thought the way that I splatter patted it was nice including the drips on the edges, but the challenges that I face is the crack going through the middle of the piece I am still unsure how to fix that or how it happened but it is definitely should be something I should work on. For my second cat and dog dish (located on the bottom column) The task was to create a bowl for a cat or dog using coils. Some important design skills I used in this piece was the way the painting came out, I was really proud of this because I loved the way the over coat of green paint left the rustic look to the rims and how when I mixed all the colors together on the bottom is looks like a galaxy. Some of the challenges I faced was covering the entire bottom of the bowl and making sure the surface was completely even. Something I should work on is coloring in the bottom of the piece to make sure it's completed to my vision.
