Quarter 1 Artist Statement/ Project

​For my Quarter 1 project I decided to do a clay model of a stone with different symbols from different tribes. Me as an artist likes to use different materials and methods for my projects so that's why this time I decided to use clay.  I chose clay because to me its soothing and very fun to create things with. It is also a easy material to work with.  I chose to use symbols  and hieroglyphics because I also had an interest in for a while.  The process of this project was very time consuming. First you have to state your idea/ make a proposal.  Then you have to  research your project idea and its mediums. Next you start off with a prototype to see how your finished product  should come out. Once you're satisfied with the prototype then you can start you final product.  I chose the symbols of happiness, Guidance, and Healing.  I chose those symbols because I feel as though those terms and the keys of life. Without guidance your lost without happiness you're nothing, and without healing your stuck in the same mentality and trauma you've been in.
