Artist Statement (what Ashley31456 said about their artwork)
Three useful things ancient people made from clay were pots and pans, vases, and stoves. My favorite part of this artwork is the color of it and my least favorite is that the sides of the ceramic aren’t as smooth as I would want them to be. To create this I first had to mold clay into a long rectangular shape. Next I pressed a design into the clay. Then the clay had to dry outside for a couple of days. After the clay dried I put blue glaze all over it. Then we had to put the ceramic into a kiln to harden. After it hardened the ceramic stand was ready to use.
About this School Project (Explore Art- Cell Phone Stands)
Students learned about ancient ceramic traditions and the desire to make useful things that were also beautiful. They used ceramic clay and slab techniques to create textured stands to hold their cellphnes.
