False Face

So the man thought he was a...  Um...   Hello!  Today I did passion time and I did clay.  Darryn said that I should start with a false face.  He said that it was and American Indian myth.  It was about this guy and a god.  The guy helped people when they were sick.  One day he tried to shift a mountain and said that he was a god.  He failed and the god made him run into the mountain.  Then he got a twisted up face.
I had to finish the clay today or else it would go hard over the holidays and I would have to start again.
I learnt a lot about how to work with clay, join clay and make and use slip, as well as how to get out air bubbles from my clay so it doesn't explode in the kiln.

Artistic

Today I did art with Darryn.  We had to start way back at the beginning.
Darryn told us that the three primary colours (blue, red and yellow) could blend any colour.
 If you blend yellow to make green and add blue it would probably turn turn green the shade depends on how much of each colour you use.  Also I learned that black and white are shadings not colours.
For my art next week I am starting a passion project I am going to do some pottery on a wheel and make vases and glaze them properly.
Next week I will have to find an expert to show me how to use a potters wheel  which is really exciting!
See you later!
