Critique Questions1.) My clay sculpture is pretty neat and well executed, I made sure to not touch the clay and add fingerprints to it. You can see some marks on the plate where my fingers pushed it in. Also, two of the three bars are identical sizes, the third is slightly smaller because the clay roller wasn't set correctly.
2.) The most difficult part of the project was the plate because it was supposed to be thin, but getting every side even was difficult. Before the plate went into the kiln, it was cracked but so far it has not broke. 3.) My colors work nicely together, I have a sand brown color for the cake part and light yellow for the icing topped with a deep yellow and spotted light green lemon shavings. The plate contrasts this yellow centered project by being grey-blue. This really makes the bright yellow lemon bars pop. 4.) I think my sculpture is interesting from most views, it is a simple rectangular shape, but it has the little shavings of lemon on the top. There is also a smooth versus rough texture on the cake part of the lemon bar and lemon sugar part of it. When the pieces are stacked together, the whole piece looks much better. No longer is it just a rectangle, it's a stack of bars on an disorderly fashion. 5.) Sculpting something can be easier because you can have molds, or many different tools to help perfect the sculpture, but because you can't focus on your piece from one angle, you have to keep up with every side. I didn't have too much of a problem with it because mine was small and pretty simple, but I can see where some people might have a problem. 6.) I created texture both through some colors and through sculpting. I used the rough side of a sponge to create a rough cake look on the sand color. I tried to keep all of the top smooth to make it look like smooth icing. I painted the top of the sand color darker to make it different and appear as though there is a different texture. I also added a little bit of green on the lemon shavings to add some minor texture appearance. 7.) I don't think anyone is going to try to eat it, but it does look like a lemon bar and I don't think I have to point it out. I achieved this with the rough texture and the minor color differences with the touch of green and small shading. Many foods aren't usually dark yellow anyways, so it's hard to not see it's not a lemon bar. 8.) If I did this project again I would first make the third lemon bar even to the other two. I would also make the lemon shavings smaller. With the colors I would make the cake part lighter to resemble a cake a little more. I would also make the plate thicker so it doesn't crack. |
