Ceramics in-process!

     Working with wet clay may seem hard to some people because can be very flimsy and difficult sometimes but I fell in love with it.  Being a first year art student, everything is brand new to me.  I had some difficulties with painting and portraits, but as soon as we began working with clay it was as if I have been doing it for years.  I automatically loved how the clay wrapped around the mold and dried to form the exact shape.  I also love how I'm able to carve anything into the clay and make it unique and different.  We recently began a project in which we have to create a place setting consisting of a ceramic plate, bowl, and cup that is functional.  It is also in tribute to someone you either know or don't know personally.  I decided to do my abuelita because she is very inspirational to me.  I am still working on it and hope to finish soon.  This is a great experience so far because it allows me to express myself and my appreciation to my abuelita through something that is useful in everyday life.
