Art Studio Core Competency Reflection

Creative Thinking Skills

My Artifact: These are the two sgraffito mugs I created in my Ceramics class.

I demonstrated my creative thinking skills by developing ideas. It took me quite a bit of time and planning to come up with the designs I wanted to use. I researched and sought out inspiration for winter-themed mugs by looking around my environment and seeing what felt like Christmas to me. Once I had concise concrete ideas, I then went through the process of illustrating those objectives onto a planning sheet. Eventually I had a solid and flexible plan to then begin to sgraffito it onto the clay.
