Clay

     I really liked doing our clay projects because it was a different experience for me. When I was younger, I really waned to be a person that could spin clay and what not. For Christmas one year my parents got me a clay set because they knew I wanted to do it so much. Since I was a kid, my interests always changed so I forgot about my clay set and eventually my parents threw it away. I wasn't sure what I was going to do with my clay when I first got it. I was just hoping that it wouldn't turn out horribly. I think my pot turned out better than I thought it would. I really hope that when it gets glazed, the blue with be the color I wanted it to be. When I found out we got to make a kiln creature, I knew what I wanted to make. I have liked turtles for a long time, and I still do. I used to collect a bunch of turtles. When I finished making my first turtle, I thought it would be better looking if I added a baby turtle on top. I'm really excited about seeing how my clay things turned out. 

Doodle
     I really like doing assignments like these because I like finding different designs to incorporate to my drawings. I only really like the after product of assignments like these. I don't think it looks cool when you first start. I wish I had so much more time because since we were glazing our clay projects, I had less time to work on this. I was more worried about my clay project than my doodle assignment. I am glad i spent more time on my clay though because I can re-draw something like this over if I wanted to, but I don't have clay sitting around to just make things with. I think it was hard to keep coming up with deigns. 

Color Wheel
    I thought the color wheel would have been a lot more fun. I was so excited to paint, but when we started painting I was scared to mess up. Even knowing that I could restart, I didn't want to mess up. At first, my color wheel looked fine because I was taking my time. By the time I had my primary colors painted, I kind of rushed through everything else. Before I started painting, I tired to erase my lines but they were too dark. I thought that when i painted over them you wouldn't be able to see them. But I wish I would have drawn the lines a lot lighter than i did. I no realize painting isn't easy, at all.
