All three projects

I used the form and texture from your previous projects and took those and usde them in your new project. I looked at my previous pieces' form and textures and displayed them in my second sculpture. Although I used many of previously used forms, I explored with sticks and tying them down to create a new form. My second form sculpture was the most technical with string tying it down. The clay sculpture connected with both of my other projects, having leaves from my texture block and the form and flow of my second sculpture. The texture block was much simpler than the other two and was used a a base for them. The curve of the leaves were represented in my second sculpture while they were literally represented in my clay sculpture. Although I believe my second sculpture is the best because of its technicality, my clay sculpture had elements from both of the other two. 

Greenware blog reflection

a. what excited you about the process of working with clay, of creating a an abstract form focused on texture? what are you most curious about?

Being able to form with a very maluable material such as clay made me excitedly do to use it. I am curious about seeing how the clay will form and bend to make it so I get what I want.

b. if you were to begin the clay sculpture anew, what is the most important piece of advice you would need?

Make sure to keep the very thin clay pieces very moist so they don't crack up or dry. 

The most interesting replies made me think about making it bigger, more leaves, and making the base longer and spiral shaped.

I am excited for being able to make my sculpture in other materials than clay. Being able to have physical objects to create a sculpture is much different than clay because it is less maluable but you are still able to make things. Natural objects like twigs intertwined together to make the base with actual leaves being the leaves on my sculpture would be interesting for me to make. 

Clay project

My sculpture starts with a solid bottom and blossoms into fragile top. It doesn't look very well made and smooth so I should improve that
