2. The Cries
Edvard Munch was the person who paints this in the year of 1893. Yes, it is the
painitng called The Scream. I love his paintings, because I think I can feel what
he felt at that time, a very depressed time for him. I love this painting the most,
because I can sense why he scream (I always feel the two hallows on the back
were following him and made him scream).
It’s my first clay piece in senior year, the reason why I thought of making this
is because of art history class, I know I will learn this painting in later of the
year, but I can’t wait to make him! I colored on greenware first before bisque
using the shining paints (Honesty I don’tknow it’s the shining glaze at first
time) so after fire once it is a finish piece with popping doton it due to the
greenware firing process.It’s not complete shining, like the part in dark. But I
love the way it goes (BTW, he looks wan and sallow).
3. Me as Egyptian
The time period I love the most in history will be the Egypt (that’s why the
movie Mummy and Mummy Return are always my favorites). Their fresco,
pyramid, twisted perspective, letters and each male or female pharaoh are
reasons that amaze me. I would say if I can travel back time, I will choosethe
period in Egypt.
The Egyptian woman in this piece is my original character. She was a brilliant
woman, proficient in medicine, math, science, and such. She was also a very
open-minded person at that time, because she never looks down on slaves nor
tried to claim connections with people in higher social class, she was naming
GoddessofIsis by the slaves. However, she got married by the pharaoh and
become one of his harems. After pharaoh died by sickness, she finally can live
with her first love (not a bad ending huh?).(FYI, the owl is “M” and the lady
means female)
4. Young Egypt Pharaoh
It was a mini-clay project in art history class. I later glaze it more in ceramic
period. The inspiration was come from a manga called Crest of the Royal
Family, the young pharaoh. I broke it at its bisque stage by accident, but I think
that fits him because it becomemore antiquity (Ancient stuffs always
broken :D).
5. Medusa Peel Plug
Besides Egypt, my second favorite time period will be Greeks, and the character I
familiar the most is Medusa. This piece is a plug that can put into the kiln’s holes.
This piece is for a ceramic contest (that I didn’t win).
