My piece shows off the theme of line by the values shown in the tail. Line is also shown in the water marks I made. They help to show how the water is falling and the splash zone.
My piece was successful in showing little details when printed. When printed the piece looks very natural and cool. If I were to do this again, I would fix the top splash lines; because they look too straight. I would also like to figure out something to do with the background to give it a little something more, I'm not sure what though.

I plan on continuing to glaze my work. I will paint the background light blue, and the pelican clear. Once it is fired again, I will paint the water dark blue. After all that I will fix the feet on my piece and paint it yellow.
Something that I found difficult was attaching different parts of my piece together, such as limbs. The feet that I made kept falling off and now I have to reattach it later. Something successful that I did was craving out my piece. Craving it out makes it easy to see and paint. It gives the pelican character and I added to the lid to make it more realistic. I believe it really completes it and pulls the piece together. To create this piece I made three different temples and then used it to make slabs of clay. I then scratched and slipped the clay together on any part of it that touched another part. I then made wings, feet,, beak and craved out the pelican; this completed my greenware. Then once it was fired, I took the bisqued piece and started glazing it. For my piece I chose chalk because I felt that it would make it easier to add in the different elements; mostly for the fire. I found the chalk made it easier to form the whips of the fire and to blend the different colors. I added fire and water to an owl. First since chalk cannot easily be erased I outlined the drawing in pencil, then I went over those lines in their base color. Next I colored the wings with a lighter color than the base color. I then added some details to the wings in their base color. After that I added the elements to the wing tips; for the fire I added the outline of it in yellow and red then went over it in orange to blend them. On the water side I outlined the base of the water and its droplets. I then added a slightly darker blue to the inner edge of the droplet, next I added a light blue to blend it. After all that all I had to do was add details to the center purple area and I was done. |
