We are making fortune cookies for the Chinese New Year, the year of the rabbit on Febuary 3, 2011. We are exploring different clay bodies and we will glaze each if them.I did accomplish my goal because I finished the fortune cookies before Chinese New Year and in the display case by confrenences. The techniquies that I used was we glazed two of them one in Shino and one in Celdon. We did one of them on dry brushing by trying to match our cookies to the actual cookie. The elements that I used to make the cookie was to design it the best I can to make it look like a actual fortune cookie. I see them when I am making the cookies with the texrures by adding the rice to it. The best part of the piece was being able to make the cookies, play with the clay, and being abble to build something. What I like about the best that I made was that it was made by me and not anyone else. I bulit it with my own two hands. The strenght is that I am able build pots and being able to have fun in pottery class. The most challenging part of creating the piece is to make it look just right without having it break on you or fall apart. I over came these difficulties by making more and trying harder. What i would improve if I could change this project again is nothing. What I learned from creating this piece is knowing why we put the fortune into the fortune cookies so that we can believe in ourselves. I would apply this by always believing in myself for the art I created myself and the stuff I try to do. Overall I felt good about this piece becuase it was the very first thing that I created in potter class. I am proud that I an Chinese to celebrate the Chinese New Year with my family.
