 Making my plan

My name is Ian LeBarre. 

I am a junior in high school with a keen interest in sports, which has taught me the value of teamwork, discipline, and perseverance. Although I have not had extensive experience in art, I appreciate the creativity and expression it allows. My goal for this semester is to develop my ceramic skills, explore different techniques, and create pieces that reflect my personality and interests.

​

My ceramics website serves as a platform to showcase my work, share my progress, and connect with others with a passion for ceramics. 

​

I plan to show a collection of my finished ceramic pieces, showcasing different styles and techniques, and create a space to document my experiences in the class, sharing what I learn and the challenges I face. I plan to enhance my skills in hand-building, wheel-throwing, glazing, and firing techniques by creating a series of ceramic pieces that represent my interests. I plan to seek constructive feedback from peers and teachers to improve my work.

Reflection: I thoughtthis peace would noto turn out the best. beacuse i thoght that i made my pinch pot to big for the handle to acatch onto. but it turned out ok. the hardest part of this peace was the hanble, my pinch pot was to thick so i had a hard time putting the handle on it would not stay on.

Reflection: This was my first time making a lidded box. I wish the sides of the box had turned out better, but it's okay. I realized I needed to smooth out the box more, but I didn't. I like the colors it ended up with, and I will probably make another one if I get the chance. 

series of 4 plates 

plan: -go out side to grab clay
-then bring it back inside 
-bring the clay to the rolling table 
-role out the clay the bring back to my table
-go out side and find a plate that is not to big or not to small
- once i find a plate put the slab on the plate 
-then smoth it out 
- let it get hard then fire it

Reflection: I had a lot of fun making these plates. It took about six plates to be perfect. The glaze that I used turned out to be cool. The first plate was the best one; the other ones did not turn out as good. I am definitely going to do this again.

Reflection:over all this peace was pretty easy to do it was pretty fun making a peace that someone drew up and being abol to make the peace come to life. if i was to do it agian i would spend more time on the teeth and the arms. i am going to paint it red in balck because that is the colors that the perosn drew on there paper.
