KEEP WORKING ON YOUR "WORD" ART

This "word" should describe YOU! Not only should the word be a reflection of your personality but, some of the letters should pose as visuals for that specific letter. For example the "O'S" in a word may be designed to look like a basketball or an eyeball or a snowman's face. 
BE CREATIVE!

Hi Class,
Today you will need to view this entire blog, it is giving you examples to our next ceramic project. Our new project is going to be sculpting a word. The word will then be made with a creative spin.  

For example you may choose the word "STRONG" and when you hand build each letter you may give it muscles, or your may cross the "T" with a barbell.

For a grade you need make a comment about your favorite picture and explain to me in 3 complete sentences why it is your favorite.
