The end of the semester has finally come, but I am not all that satisfied with my pieces of art I created in ceramics this semester. The craftsmanship of my pieces didn't turn out all that well. A lot of my mugs didn't turn out all that great as you can see above. One of them has thumb prints and the bowl has marks where I bumped it up against something else. Overall, the quality of my work didn't look good when it came to the throwing and the glazing. The fact is, I didn't spend enough time on the wheel to really get the feel for throwing. I have no one else to blame, but myself. Yes, I am a part-time student who also works, but I have got to find the right balance between both school and work. School is very important and my artwork is even more important because it happens to be my major. Art is what is going to get me my future job.
Next semester, I will be taking Ceramics 3 so it is imperative that I put in twice the effort as I put in this semester for that the ceramic courses only get more difficult as we move forward. I hear Ceramics 3 is much more challenging the Ceramics 2. Looks like I will be spending a lot of Sunday afternoons at school, but if it means both my throwing and glazing will improve, that is enough to keep my motivated. See you next semester Brian....
