This was wheel bowl #2. This is four inches tall and 5 inches wide. For this project I glazed the inside with white, although I think I should have added another layer. On the outside I used dark cobalt and added mat turquoise with a sponge to add texture. A new skill that I learned for this project was trimming the lip. I could definitely use more work on this, but the lip on my bowl #2 is significantly better than on bowl #1. The art element that I tried to emphasize was form, through my attempts to make a good lip and even walls. The design element I wanted to emphasize was proportion/scale. This connected to the form of my bowl because I wanted a more even proportion of height to width on this project, because my last bowl was much wider than it was tall. I think I was successful at this design element. The mood I wanted to portray through this bowl was evenness -- this was shown through my proportions and form. The glazes were meant to add to this, by creating a solid coat on the outside, however I believe I needed to use more mat turquoise. Overall, I am very happy with the major improvements I can see within this bowl.
