For this project, we were to cut a slab of clay and fold it to a tray and use that as a mold, and then after the clay sit for a day or two we took the black stain and painted the top of the clay. I believe that i did about two or three coats of the black overtop of the clay tray. Then we were to figure out a design that we wanted to create in the clay and carve into it using the tools to create the design or picture that we desired. I really didnt know what i wanted to do for my design on the tray and i just kind of felt like doing whatever came to me so i decided to do a design with the swirls that i use alot in all of the art projects that i do in my art classes. I like the way that this project turned out but i do wish i had kept the lines skinnier because originally the lines in the design were much thinner the first day that i had begun carving, but then i forgot which tool i had used the previous tool and started with another one that ended up being much much thicker, and it looked really unbalanced with half of the design having thick lines and the other half thin so i just went through and made them all thick. Overall besides that though i did like the project and thought that it was a really cool concept to cut into the dark which brings out the light and i would deffinitely want to do this project again it was really cool.
