Creative Thinking

In 3D-Ceramics, our class was assigned to create two mugs out of clay for our art pieces. The two mugs are personal mugs that are significant to us as individuals. For my art piece, I constructed ombre colored mugs that showcased different aspects of what I like and enjoy. This artifact connects to Creative Thinking Core Competency. It required a creative idea to build the art piece that included planning and thought throughout the process of the creation. 

An example of where I built upon someone else’s ideas is when outlining the design from Pinterest. Pinterest is a good platform/source to get inspiration and ideas for different projects. I use Pinterest to grasp ideas and make it my own by adding personal aspects and details into the design to sgraffito on the mug. Some skills I have developed to make my creative activities better are ways to scratch and sgraffito the design onto the mug. By using different techniques with different tools that benefits the process of removing the clay from the art piece. That allows me to be more precise and add small details which result in more of a finishing touch
