Clay Tile

Finished Piece

In art, we made a clay piece by choosing three different objects (for our fore, middle, and background) and then drawing a sketch on paper of how we wanted our tile to look. When we first started, I was skeptical that my finished piece would turn out like my sketch, because it was really hard to manipulate the clay how you wanted it. However, I feel like my finished product highly resembles my sketch. I thought this project was surprisingly fun, even though at times it was a little tedious, especially doing the seashells. Carving each one and then painting them was a nightmare. I feel like the best part of this piece is the starfishes; I love their color and texture. The crab turned out okay, but I feel like the legs could have been done a little bit better. However, I am very pleased witht the outcome of this piece.
