In this workshop,  we were asked to produce an sample from the artists we were shown.  I decide to do Ostinelli and Priest because I was influence by their use of subject and the textures they produce within their works,  that could feel rough, bumpy in some area and        uneven.

But before we could make our samples out of white earthenware clay we did few drawings of our choose animal, did from obevetional animals mainly focusing on the head as the artists who influenced us is, Henry Moore who is a sculptor but also does drawing of animals,  using variety of lines to forms the shape of the creatures.

After that, I began to make the animal,  chooses

• Collected enough white clay
• Shaped a medium lump into a ball
• Sat it on the table, using my fingers began to rub at the sides of the ball so I could make it form the right head shape of the bird
• When satisfied with the head shape I started to add the eyes in. By collecting a small clay which I formed into a ball, by rubbing it in circular movement with my palms.
• Then, drew lines going in different directions at the bottom of the tiny ball, and where the eyeball could go. Using slip, I corsed it and placed the eyeball where I wanted it
• The step at the top was repeated for the left eye, with a tiny, clay rolled in a line and placed around the eyes, as seen at the image at the bottom with the eye.

• After, using a wooden stick with pointed edge, began to draw the furs of the bird in different lines thickness,  going every directions,  creating movement.

• Put enough amount of the white into a bowl
• Add water, using your hand mix the white....and the water together in a circular moment
• Collect a filter that have the holes which are big enough for the liquid to get through. I used size of '60'. The bigger the filter gets the bigger the holes.
• Because the liquid was thick and it was going slower through the filter into a bowl, I move it around in circular movement with my fingers, which made the liquid to pass through the filter quicker. 
• After painted it on my head, leaving the head unpainted as I want it to look black
• Repeated step 3 for the black, which I then lay over the white one
• Then added the....Over it.

In the other lesson we were asked to create a hirbid form sample in pairs.

Here are the samples. 

 The body of the doll and head were mold cast and glue together, using slip.
