Plans for Next Year

Hello everyone! Next year I will be taking Portfolio II, and I really think I have made an awesome choice. Since the very beginning, I have had trouble choosing what to do because I love so many different styles of art! Taking Portfolio II next year will allow me to have to freedom to experiment with all sorts of techniques to broaden my horizons. I feel like taking AP Art would have confined me to a certain style of art, and I didn't want to feel constricted in my art making. Art is about exploring and creativity and freedom! With that said, I am super excited about what I will be doing next year. I plan on returning to the pottery wheel and experimenting with different glazes. I would love to make mugs, bowls, plates, etc. - really, anything I can! There is a shop up in Mentone, AL (http://www.miraclepottery.com/Mugs.html) that my brother and sister have become obsessed with over the years. Since the first mug they brought home, my family has been obsessed with their collections! I love their style of glazing and would love to recreate some of the patterns. Mugs will be a challenge for me; I've tried making them in the past and it hasn't gone so well, whether it's handles falling off, holes being torn in the body, or just a downright awful looking cup, I've struggled. I am excited to experiment next year and finally create my perfect mug! I've included some pictures of the mugs from Miracle Pottery's website, but I also have some other ideas. I would like to make a collection of white pottery and find a way to add gold to it. I'm not sure how gold leaf would work, but I'll be keeping you all updated next year!
