Our assignment in ceramics was to create a head that incorporates something about us, either opening out of our head or out of our heart. Since one of my favorite shows is Glee, I decided to create the "glee" logo and make the top of my head open up to it. To get the cracked effect on my head, I first put a coat of engobe on it, fired it, then painted black slip over it. Then I wiped away the black slip, but where the clay had lines, the black slip stuck to, emphasizing the cracks. This project was so cool because each head turned out very unique, just depending on various factors.
