------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We are starting to create a whimsical table in our group. But instead it's a "beachy/under the sea theme". On the legs we are going to have sand, cause the bottom of the sea has sand then it turns lighter towards the top, then we are going to have crabs, octopus and different creators in the middle of the table and make it look like a crab nets on the sides on the top is like the beach, the water is coming up to the shoreline. We learned skills on planning and teamwork and how to get things done in the time we had. We learned our skills about each one who can paint, draw and etc. We put those skills to work in this project.

Oaxacan Animals

I thought about alot of animals for this project, I picked a butterfly. I balled up newspapers and taped them together. After that I put this "slip" on it's like and we put strips of newspaper with the "slip" on our animal. After that we covered it in layers and waited it to dry. After our animal dried we painted it and then put designs on the animals. Exotic designs. We learned about the different cultures and how they make these different kind of animals. It's pretty cool. Me on the other hand, this is not one of my specialties. Some others in class had some pretty cool looking animals. I don't know where exactly,

This is an example of an oaxacan animal.

My Under the Sea Clay Project

It was an under the sea project with clay but it sadly it blew up.
I first thought of the theme and made a bowl shape and the middle had a fish tail coming out of it and the bottom of the bowl was going to be the sea. There was an octopus and starfish on the side coming off of it.
I learned how to shape objects and animals with clay and not to have bubble sockets in your work cause it will blow up in the kelm. That was the lesson for me.
