I like art. Clay is my favorite type of art because its more fun. My favorite project was my texture pot because it had nice texture. I don't think art would be as much fun with out Mrs. Davis. Art is my favorite subject in school and I look forward to it every otherday. I also like painting my clay sculptures.

I like to make clay things and when I make clay things I usually like to make pots. I like to make pots that you can use at home, such as pots that you can put money or pencils or other things. My favorite pot that I used was when I made it last year. I took a giant brick of clay and then I hollowed it out, and made a lid that had a little hole in the top so that I could put money in it. Other things that I like to make are sculptures, but overall my favorite things to make would be anything that you can use.

I have always loved art. The type of art I love the most is sculpting. Making shapes and seeing that I have created them gives me the best feeling. Some day I hope to build a life size model of an action hero and keep it forever.

I just finished making my "lazy" cow. He is an abstract work of art. I think he is abstract because to paint him, I used all different shades of blue.

Happy Holiday Break Everyone!

According to Tricia Fuglestad's art class....

There's more to making art than just pleasing your eyes

here is the place whre we learn skills for our lives

stratagise, compromise, plan and visualize

integrate, concentrate, learn to relate

exposed to cultures and eras in history

we're trained to be thinkers with visual literacy

we fine tune our motor skills while growing in self-esteme

we follow directions and understand sequencing

in ART.
