box

 

The first image is by a woman named Patty from Lakeside pottery. I like the dip in the top of the form and the angled sides.

The surface quality of Margaret Bohls piece is nice. I would like to incorporate some design if time allows .

These were done by Patty at Lakside pottery. The piece in the back with three lids interests me. I would like to try to make a functional jewelry box with multiple lids.

Once again, the octopus!

My Drawings:

I want to make two or three medium and small sized boxes. I was inspired by Holcombe's decadent design and the lovely rectangular shape. I loved the shape of Williams hexagonal shape! I kind of liked the size and shape of Bayless' work. I like playing around with different geometric shapes for my "box". I decided to add the octopus again because I really enjoyed making it in the last assignment. I also really love octopus!

Paint on top of hinged box

I was really inspired by Maria Kristofersson's hinged boxes. I'd like to use a white slip on the box but allow the red clay to show through in places and then with the cobalt glaze paint the mushroom imagery on the top of the lid.

project 3 the box

I looked at the links provided in the syllabus, and that forms that I have found most interesting were the hexagonal boxes by Betsy Williams and the Colored leaf box by Hayne Bayless.

I liked how the set of boxes, although different in color and pattern, all had a uniform shape and size. 

I found that the colored leaf box by Hayne Bayless very unique in form. I found the stenciling very interesting and aesthetically pleasing. 

I had an idea about a stacking pyramid box and a shell box.

Assignment 3 - The box

                                                                      my drawings:

I'm interested in several ideas. The first one is a polyhedron, and I'm thinking about either stacking several polyhedrons or making several different sizes of boxes and putting one box inside of another. The second and the third ideas are both about making the box looks like something else. The fourth idea looks more looks more like a box than my other ideas, and the form will be simple but the surface will have more decorations. The fifth idea kind of looks like between a box and something else, and the design is kind of similar to part of my final design of my second project.

I like the idea that the box doesn't have to look like a box.

Assignment #3 - The Box

For this assignment I want to stay with the same theme as my last piece.  These sculptures are referencing new technology that has blurred the lines between nature and man-made.  Specifically, they are referencing the recent creation of fully robotic plants with roots that "grow".  Like a natural plant, the roots grow towards specific minerals and water sources.

I looked for inspiration in plants and mechanical objects as well as ceramic work from the websites given.

Instead of making a box I was thinking about making a planter since this assignment considers the concept of containment,  preciousness protection and/or concealment.  I also like the idea of stacking forms.

Stacking corset box-Careen Stoll (Access Ceramics)

My ideas for this project are to either create a book stack that can house writing accessories, a stacking set that can hold feminine products, or a simple box that could act as a centerpiece or be otherwise decorative. I don't want to push myself in the structure of the more simpler pieces, but want to push the surface work a bit more instead.
