Proportion Practice

Face proportion practice

Honestly, this one is okay because I never really draw people, but I definitely could use more practice. The eyes are too big for the face but otherwise I think it is okay.

Harlem Renaissance

Here is my Harlem renaissance sketch

Final

Here is my  final Harlem renaissance piece. It has changed tremendously from the original sketch, but a very good change in my opinion. I also really like the window and maybe would like to pursue a drawing that is in that style.

Pottery techniques:

Mishima Technique: Basically, the first step is to make a sculpture. After  making the sculpture, the artist carves in their design to the clay. Once the design is carved, the next step is to paint glaze over the entire surface area. After glazing it, the artist is to take a wet sponge  and wipe off the  glaze to make it so glaze is only in the crevices  so the design can appear.

Sgraffito Technique: In this technique, the first step again is to make the sculpture. Next they use underglaze to paint the whole thing. Once everything is painted, the artist THEN carves the design into the clay.

SKETCH:

Sprigging: For sprigging you basically make a thin piece, and then make a plaster mold to easily make more  of the same pieces for decorating.

Impressed texture: To achieve an impressed texture, you just press something that has a design into a flat surface of clay.

Yun  Hee Lee (Lee Yun Hee)

Lee Yun Hee is a famous Korean ceramist. She has a bachelors degree in ceramics and a masters degree. She has been apart of 60+ group exhibitions since 2006 and has had 6+ solo exhibitions. Since then, she has received 11 major ceramics  awards. Lee Yun Hee is still in her twenties, and though she is extremely young, she has developed an entirely unique style.

My Favorite Piece:

 This piece is the most different of her pieces; it does not have a person in it and is not symmetric. This piece has very faint colors in the  part that appears to be almost like an alter. The places full of color are the top and the bottom. The bottom part is my very favorite because of the way the flowers and color scheme work together to bring it to life. Like all of Lee Yun Hee's pieces, this one is exquisitely constructed.
