Colors of life Drew Kidwell Ceramics 1 Class of 2024
For my fall 2021 collection I created three pieces. I am very proud of my success over the past couple months creating pieces that can display a message and a personal meaning. For these three pieces I focused more on class work rather than making the best throne pieces possible. I did a variety of pieces, such as a plate, a bowl, and a tray, although I wasn’t focusing 100% on throwing, this was the best bowl that I’ve made all year. I wanted to focus on glaze because that isn’t my strong suit and I wanted to challenge myself. The streaks of color on each piece represent the positive, good, and fun things happen in our lives that overshadow and exceed the dark parts of our lives. As humans we tend to dwell on the sad or disappointing things that happen but we should focus on the positive things and let those stay in our mind more and have a greater effect on us, then we can improve ourselves dramatically.I hope that each and every one of you can focus on the positive and not let the small negative things pile up and get the best of you.
