Art of Plate
My project is a simple small plate. I used paint to decorate the plate with two different colors. I also used some of the clay crafting materials to create an eye design in the center of the plate. I studied different tactics for crafting plates. I read about a tactic in which you create a long strand of clay. You then put the strand together to create a plate or a bowl.
I learned how to smooth out the clay so that there are no sharp divots. I feel like I was able to create a plate that was suitable for use. I made sure that I used the clay carefully and used the hardening of the clay to my advantage. I also made it big enough to use for small amounts of food. I also learned how clay hardens. I learned that it needs to be hardened in a special way, so that it doesn't shatter. I am proud that I was able to smooth out the clay, because that was the hardest part of the project. I would have made the plate a little bit bigger, because it won’t hold a lot of food as is.
