For my historically inspired piece, I wanted to do something quick and easy, but this was the opposite. I spent many class periods trying to sculpt the vase by hand, which ended up lumpy and short. In the end, I threw on some underglaze and tossed it in the slop bucket. If I had done this again, I would have waited until I knew how to work a pottery wheel.
Plan
I just wanted a bowl, so I just made a rough bowl, and I wanted white and blue. Not much of a plan.

This piece was very exploratory. I basically just made whatever came to mind. I tried textures, glaze, and a lid. He is a little sloppy, but I think he came out cute, and I'm very happy with his scaly texture.

Plan
For this pich pot, I just made a basic dish, which I painted little flowers inside. This piece was very simple and not very time-consuming. It was one of the first pieces I ever glazed, but in the end, it came out well. If I did it again, I think I would spend more time on the flowers and make the piece more intricate.

I loved this piece. I chose to do Claude Monet's water lilies. I loved painting all the little details and not having to worry too much about perfection. The only thing I would change if I could would be making the lily pads darker; they feel a bit too bright compared to the water.
Plan
I knew I wanted to paint lily pads, and I had my reference chosen. I knew I wanted there to be lots of highlights in the water and fr the flowers to be very large.
