This is my planter that I made on the wheel, it' s the first planet I have made. It stands at five inches tall and just over 4 and a half inches wide. For the glaze i dipped the bottom in green and left a little room for the glaze to run. I then dipped the top in black to add some diversity. During the construction of this project i learned how to pull a tall middle piece and then make the outer area look good. I had to learn all the techniques to making a planter. The shape of my planter and really any planters are quite cool and unique because of the two parts they contain. It makes it so it doesn't look as simple as a bowl or cylinder. The color is also big in my project because the green and black sort of contrast each other but it works well. When I look at this project I get two different feelings. The green reminds me of algae or moss, but the black is thrown in and has a different effect.

For my first choice project I made a pinch pot dog. My dog stands at 5 inches tall and 4 inches wide. For the glaze I dipped the whole project in white and then added metallic brown spots all over. However the brown was not enough and when it mixed with the white it came out green. During the construction of this pinch pot I got to practice sculpting a little bit by forming the face. I also got to learn how to connect 2 separate pinch pots as a connected the nose of the dog. The form of the dog is the defining point because it shows what my pinch pot is. The color is also clear where the green spots show up. When I look at my dog it seems relieving because I like animals so it's calming. I learned that I really do like making pinch pots and I much prefer doing those rather than being on the wheel.
