For this week’s Bolg assignment, please respond to this post
and share with each other the focus of your Concentration. If you are still
unsure,….well …..it’s time to figure it out. Remember it is very important to come up with
a meaningful concept. From now until May it is going to be the center of your
universe!
This year for my concentration I am focusing on the design element of bridges. Taking the way they are bolted together steel or poured concrete and incorporating that into my artwork throughout the school year!
ReplyDeleteFor my concentration this year i will focus on what makes a utilitarian bowl specific. For example if you wanted to have a bowl for french onion soup it would meet specific requirements for that use.
ReplyDeletei'm going to use trees as my concentration, whether it be the literal incorporation of trees/branches/leaves into my artwork, or the figurative use of the varying facets of trees in my pieces!
ReplyDeleteMy concentration this year is serving apparatuses, so anything that something can be served in. I was tired of making pieces that were purely sculptural but I am planning on keeping sculptural facets in my work.
ReplyDeleteMy concentration focuses on the visually appealing side of bowls. Although each of my 12 bowls may not have a specific purpose, they will all be odd and different and will make the viewer keep looking. I am very excited about my bowls.
ReplyDeleteI was thinking about making vases, and making them thick so i can trim a shape to them.
ReplyDeleteFor my concentration I am focusing on cut-outs. Incorporating the cut-out dynamic into a ceramic piece that can be useful not just for decoration.
ReplyDeleteMy concentration will focus on the human anatomy. It will involve different parts of the body such as hands, feet, and even bones. I will then turn them into something you can use everyday like platters, bowls, or teapots.
ReplyDeleteFor my concentration I will be focusing around water and movement. Out of this I will be working on many fountains, birdbaths, etc. I also want to explore how certain textures can make a piece of clay appear in motion or moving.
ReplyDeleteI was going to do something along the lines of using multiple hand building techniques to make various forms then tie them all together with a color scheme or glaze technique.
ReplyDeleteFor my concentration I will be exploring designs, imprints and textures made from objects in nature (maybe just from the NW...not sure).
ReplyDeleteFor my concentration I will be exploring the use of sea glass on ceramic pieces and also making sea glass bowls out of ceramic molds. I will get my inspiration from the ocean by using textures, sculpting, colors ect.
ReplyDeleteIn my concentration I will be exploring drinking vessels. I want to incorporate some pieces that show a relationship between a handle and a piece as well as some sets of pieces that exemplify the relationship between pieces themselves. My concentration will be made up primarily of mugs of different shapes and sizes, as well as a variety of goblet, tumblers, steins, and tumblers.
ReplyDeleteThis year for my concentration I am going to do an exploration of textures. Not all textures work with every piece and by the end I hope to be able to find a suitable texture for any piece. You can have a good piece but it is never a great piece until it has a texture that will establish and accent it well.
ReplyDeleteMy concentration this year will focus on miniatures. I plan to make things as small as a penny or a nickle by the time the year is over. I hope to make them so that they are proportionately correct. Finally I plan to use a variety of shapes and textures to add variety to my concentration.
ReplyDeleteThis year for my concentration, I am going to explore surface variation of teapots. I am going to try to make flawless teapots to start, and then alter it somehow, either with texture or punchouts.
ReplyDeleteI plan on focusing my concentration around nature. My goal is to construct various aspects of nature such as trees, the sun and moon, and possibly even planets. I plan on adding my own creative touch to them to make them uniuqe
ReplyDeleteas my concentration is on the Chinese zodiac
