My piece was inspired by Gudetama, a Japanese icon. When coming up with concept ideas I thought of many interesting like octopus or fairy box, but I decided to go with Gudetama. Then I drew the concept art and cut out paper for prints or the shape i wanted it to look. In my original planing I wanted the handle to be on the side of the bowl but i couldn't find a way to keep it there so I just added it to the lid. As it turns out when you put glaze on you can't really put anything on top of it so I ran into the problem of not being able to put on Gudetama face because I glazed him. Although I just drew on his face and will just get it sprayed so it will stay. I really liked how I molded Gudetama he came out great and the glaze came out awesome except that one hiccup. I started out with a drawing then I got some clay and slabbed it so to get out the air bubbles. With greenware I molded it in to my pot using the sliping method and when I found it good enough I put it into the kiln to be fired. It came out as a bisqueware. So that is how I made my clay pot.

When learning about acrylics we did some warm up with them. The most helpful warm up was the rock, fur, and fabric. Also the paint on the piece of plastic was fun. I picked a picture of a squirrel in a tiny tree. I picked this picture because it was when I went to the farmers market and I had a fun time. Here is some work in progress. I started with the brown back ground then added a green layer. I added grass, then the a tree bark and leafs . Then finally the squirrel. This is the finial piece. While working on it I found that the leaves where really easy and though it took some time I like how the grass turned out alright. So the bad, I just didn't have a brush small enough for details for the squirrel and the blending on the tree needs some work.
