Hi I am Amin Robinson and I am the creator of the Fire Golem as seen in the picture below. As you can see it is not my best work, nor is it my first idea. My original ideas were going to be an abstract clock, then it was going to be a heart and then my last idea became this creature. The reason of its creature was because I wanted to show people what exactly I imagine in my head and how every random thought I have becomes a reality on paper.
My vision for the work is a little messy but since it is the first time that I ever made a sentient clay monster being at all I am just glade that I even did it in the first place. My work communicates "Scary. Fiery. Coolness. What the actual clay?" It communicates lots of mystery and questions that people ask me like "Why did you make this?" and I just reply "Because my mind told me so!" What I think I achieved through the creature of this art piece is an actual 3D visual of one my imaginations.
My current work relates to my previous work because we learned how to use proper colors and I definitely knew what colors to mix to give it the fiery orange-red-yellow neon look. I started with a ball of clay in which I then made another ball like the snowman affect and the I sculpted a chainsaw two arms one with a chainsaw and the other with a regular hand(It isn't actually there anymore as it fell off) and two big legs that I just stuck under the big ball of clay that is his torso. My actual art piece don't really reflect the world at all but I guess it could be an allusion to how Adam and Eve were created like from the earth and possibly out of clay.
My work definitely influence others to want to get up and create something just because I did it and I completely have no skill in using clay. One technique that could be important is stay on task and never be afraid to add on any ideas you feel like would make your art "pop." I learned how to mold in the cracks and crannies to make the piece look like one piece and not pieces.
Overall this project was very good and I loved doing it it was a lot of fun and I really consider painting and sculpting more often.
