The Dogs

I did not wait long enough for the head of Oliver to dry. So part of his head cracked and is not salvageable. I am going to come up with a new idea and try to save the face. If I decide not to use it for a project, I will use the piece to practice stains. I will try it again. The next one will be better than the first. I am learning some techniques to make it more realistic and more detailed.

I have been working on the Jack head and it is good. I feel that I made him the way I wanted and to demonstrate the dog in a way that is a little disturbing. I am going to do some research and check out some other artist in ceramics that are doing some different things with dogs. I would like to demonstrate some animal abuse statements, sickness in our pets, and the absurdity of how humans treat animals.
I am working on my artist statement. I am sure that I am going to have to say something along these lines.

I am going to continue working on dogs and hoping that I can make some good art.
