Fish

I started working with clay last year when I took elements of ceramics. Last year for my art show, I sculpted snakes and I really enjoyed it. I knew I wanted to hand build sculptures again and I decided to make fish because my uncle and I have gone fishing ever since I was little. I created my pieces in two separate ways: one, by creating a mold and laying a slab over the mold, the other method was just sculpting from a ball of clay. I then added fins to the fish and added a variety of texture patterns including lines and scale patterns. I added different colored paints to certain fish to compliment their size and shapes. I really enjoy ceramics and I could see myself taking a class similar to this one in college next year.
