1. In creating one of my favorite pieces made out of clay I used the pottery wheel. The pottery wheel made it easier to create a cup that was even on all sides and was very proportional. The function of the pottery wheel is to shape a piece of clay into a mug or a bowl. The purpose is to make it easier to create pieces that are used as like mugs or even bowls.
2. I understand more about tools now that I have been using, for example the pottery wheel. I did not know how to use the pottery wheel before coming into this class. Now I can create a piece in just a few tries. I have grown to actually want to make pieces on the wheel and not dreading it. 3. My favorite material I used this year was clay. I enjoyed molding the clay and then firing my pieces and glazing them. I like working with clay because it is easy to mold and it can stand up by itself when it gets to the right dryness. Clay is also very smooth and fun to touch. 4. My cardboard orange was my most successful piece. The process I went through was first measuring and cutting out the orange slices. Then I cut out pieces for the outside of my orange and clued them onto the slices that I made. Then I cut out the small little slices and clued them on to the other slices. FInally I glued all the pieces together and colored it orange. 5. Something I found most difficult in this class was throwing on the wheel. Something I could do to get better at throwing would be to practice more and take the time to listen to some one teach me how to throw.

The process of my paper mache piece was to get a small soccer ball and make a small paper ball and tape them together. Then I began to wrap the balls with paper towels. Once I had the first layer done i began to add another layer. Then I added the final layer of paper mache and let it dry. Then I began to paint my seal with grey. Finally I added eyes and whiskers to make it more like a seal. My piece was successful with the colors and the shape of the face. Some difficulties I had were adding different layers of the paper towel and not having it get everywhere.
