Clay Demonstration
During class Ms.
Raheleh gave an excellent lecture of the beauty and possibilities of clay and
the different types of methods used when sculpting clay into a piece of
artwork. For example the beauty of Rauk Technique and its colorful and
differential patterns is one method of clay making. Even the way it is made
through alumina, silica, and chemically bonded water. When I was immersed into
my piece of clay I realized he durability yet flexibility of the clay and how I
could shape and form it into practically any shape I wanted.
The way Ms.
Raheleh shaped they clay into an almost perfect bowl proves the technique and
time required to make a piece of artwork from clay. The patience, the practice,
and the imagination need when creating a piece of artwork is so important that
it requires years of studies.
The way clay can
be heated so extensively and become harden to the point of a stone the can be
used as plates for eating to utilities for protection.
