For this project, each student made multiple pieces of red clay with different shapes, patterns and textures. These pieces were all fired and then each of us were to make a sculpture using these pieces that others have created. This made for a more instinctual approach to the sculpture rather than building it from the ground up with what it means and how it'll look. Omitting the pre-planning process (sketching, etc.) of creating this sculpture was a really interesting and new method to me, and I found that it pushed my creativity by creating this limitation. I used 3 different paints, red, white and black, and painted along the edges of the pieces as well lightly brushing over them so the paint only caught the most superficial surfaces, visually enhancing the potpourri of textures that appear among the individual components of the sculpture.
