Day 17: MOST PROUD ARTISTIC MOMENT???

Considering that i haven't been done very much artwork that i have actually documented, I think im going to have to draw from a project i finished back in my junior year of high school. I was taking a ceramics class, and, for one of the open assignments with no real guidelines, I decided to just screw around and make a pretty cool paper weight. After fiddling around with a hunk of clay for quite some time, i decided to make a wave, with a dolphin in its face, a gift to my mother for mothers-day. Even though it wasn't the most difficult piece, nor the most complex piece, I was most proud of it because i had decided to make it without an assignment, so it was something i actually wanted to make, and i followed through to finish it, and gift it. It may be a stretch, but i think it actually kind of relates to the theme of the class, being art and life. This is because of the fact that its a functional piece, a paper-weight, so it doesn't just sit around for looks in my house, but rather, moves from place to place, incorporated into my parents at-home-office space as a functional utensil. Hopefully i can get a photo of it in the next few hours to throw up here. Until then, just imagine it!
