Core Competency 12 Reflection Ceramics

Critical and Reflective Thinking

This is snowy. Snowy from the adventures of Tintin. He is a faithful companion of Tintin and a sidekick.
He is a wire fox terrier and has white fur, he was one of the cutest and cuddly animal in the series and I want to make a sculpture out of him. When I start making snowy, it was quite hard to make. I had to make the proportions exactly like him just like I made my reference on my sheet of paper. Molding his body was quite hard to make especially his head it was bigger. I had to make his head smaller and accurate just like he looks like and scrap off some extra clay off from him. After fixing his head, I molded the ears and sliced into edges, then I carefully put it on the top of his head. Next I do the face which it was a simple design and stick it there, then I mold the rest of his body and now its done. Now on to the next step, I cut the boxes and paint the ovals yellow and stick with hot glue gun together, and then I use another cardboard box to paint the rest of the background black. I glaze my sculpture and wait for the few days to be dry. Finally I put him at the background and use my flashlight at them to add a shadow.

Creative Thinking

Me and my group worked hard to get information and facts for our project on cultural holidays. Mostly I have to do the research of Nowruz to understand why is it celebrated and what’s the purpose of the holiday. My area strengths are gathering information from the sites that contains about the facts of Nowruz, then I make my own words. I asked questions to my team mates to double check my progress before continuing, I contribute my sources and gathering all evidence of the Nowruz. The only area in my growth I struggled to make my own words with a new sentences. It was hard for me to make an original sentence without plagiarism from any site. When I make a sentence I can’t think of a good word that would fit in the box which it was difficult for me to find a good word to make a good sentence.
