Goal:
Create three slab constructed narrative pieces that are different sizes out of stoneware that are high fired. Each piece will be unique, using drawing skills to portray the concept.
Words:
Unique, passionate, strong
Concept:
The three pieces will show one image on one side of each. The images will be narrative, which will get the concept across. Each day I never know if I’m ever doing anything right, life itself can be hard and stressful; basically life pulling at you or showing that you’re torn will be the concept. I will carve hands reaching out and grabbing on one piece, in the middle the second piece will have an image of a girl running a way looking back, little does she know she will be running into the next piece which will be hands reaching out towards her.
Craftsmanship Form:
The three pieces will be strong structures standing upright, showing strength to go along with the images; you have to stay strong in this life because it will knock you down. The two pieces with the hands on them will be horizontal and will be the same shape, the piece with the girl on it will be vertical and placed in the middle of the two horizontal pieces.
Craftsmanship Surface:
I think that the pieces should be relatively smooth in some areas, but it should be texturized and carved into also getting the concept across. Not all things will go smoothly in life, you will run into bumps in the road.
Presentation:
The three pieces will glazed with high fire glazes in order to get a darker, earthy look. To present the pieces and get the concept across they must be laid out specifically. The horizontal piece with the hands reaching toward the girl will be on one side, the vertical piece in the middle showing the girl running into the hands on the other horizontal piece.
