Dinnerware Set Reflection (4-C): April 12, 2013
1. I did a good job sizing all of my pieces because they all look good together.
2. I could have done a better job smoothing out my plate because it is bumpy and not very clean compared to the others.
3. The theme among all of my pieces are stars because I thought it would be simple and easy to do.
4. I have 3 stars on every piece because I wanted to have them all match. I will most likely glaze them yellow because stars are always yellow.
5. My bowl is radial and my cup and plate are bilateral. I chose that because it would be balanced on each side.
6. I learned that you really have to take your time building each piece because if you don't things can get ruined. It can be applied to life because you never want to rush through something.
7. I just started out by wedging the clay and I started to build my plate. It took me awhile because I had trouble getting it even. After I built my plate I came up with the idea to do stars which weren't on my preliminary designs. After my plate was finished I made my cup on the wheel. While that was drying I made my bowl on the wheel. I didn't really have anything planned I kind of just went with the flow.
8. I think it is a worthwhile project but it would have been very helpful if you would have been here to give your opinion.
