The Greek Storage Jar (Amphora) depicting man and boy was created around 550-540 BCE. It was found in Ancient Greece. The amphora storage jar is made out of terracotta and it is eleven inches in height. Then it was painted on with black and brown paint.

Making these jugs were a way for the African slaves to express themselves. They were used for religious reasons and held burial significance. Ceramics class was effective in exposing a completely new form of art to me that I had no previous knowledge about. From this assignment I was able to learn more about African-American culture, the significance of pottery in the lives of different people and how the meaning of face jugs have shifted. As a result of what I have learned I am more curious of the history behind the things that I see and use in everyday

The apothecary jars were used during the italian renaissance, specifically during the years 1478-1550, the main use for these jars was to hold medication and spices that were used as herbal remedies. For instance,the earliest jars had no labels, so they would be used and reused for a variety of medicines, sometimes the labels would be attached to the jar to show what was inside, the practice of firing the name of the medications inside was not started until 1500. These jars have been replaced by containers of pills as well as jars to hold the spices, there are also bottles to hold the liquid medications and paper labels to show who the belong to and what the bottles contain. Naturally, the tops of the jars were decorated with colorful borders

Also, I like to expand my vocabulary, especially of the materials that I use. In terms of media vocabulary, I'm constantly looking for anything that has that connection to human hands in a meaningful way. He has developed several different techniques to create various different artforms, but he has majorly used 3 techniques in creating the Earth’s skin Crumpled, Designer One and Plain. In these techniques he separates the bottle caps metal, the thread and crumples them and sewing them all together with gold thread. The bottle caps used are linked to liquor, which has historical associations, since hard drinks played a prominent role in the earliest contact between Africa and Europe. The caps used are all from local brands of liquor and the act of stitching them into sheets like melding the different circumstances of these continents together into an indeterminate form. The distillers recycle bottles and caps are more or less by-products of this process. The distilleries discard

The Greeks took care of the dead by washing them, putting them in tombs, and bringing offerings to their grave. The women’s role was to wash and wrap the dead bodies in cloth. They also decorated them with flowers and herbs. The men dug the area in which the body was to be buried. On this first piece of pottery, it looks like people are walking as if they were in a funeral procession. Women are surrounding the dead person and men are following the women. The pottery has a top that looks like a funnel which comes down and narrows out into a long neck. At the bottom of the long neck it starts to get wider and forms a shape that looks like a vase. The vase sits on a very small pedestal. On the sides of the narrow neck there are two handles that look like very long and thin wings. On the neck of the pot, there is one women standing there. The design above her head looks like a wreath. She looks like she is crying over a body. She is on top of everything that is on the pottery which leads me to conclude that she is an important part of this piece. The dead person may have been her son or husband. At the bottom of the pottery there is a design that looks like black spikes. The pot is entirely black with the picture in gold paint. This pot was called a Loutrophoros. It was used for holding water to wash the dead body. After the body was buried, the Greeks put offerings on the graves of the people who have passed away. This next

It is a three-dimensional sculpture created by modeling and merging hard materials. Next to it there are other deities (Vishnu, Parvati, Ganesh etc.) and sculptors from the Chola Dynasty. The other works near it complements the sculpture as I have stated above they are from the same time period so, they are related to each other some way and

The day I emerged was the same day as the Great Darkness, the first one since all was new. The other girls tell me that there was no sound, but I like to imagine there was. Our sky, with each resplendent girl lighting her section, suddenly filled with a crushing darkness that fell in with a soft swish. The panicked screams silenced by the muffling blackness, and the pure terror flowing through their veins. I was still in my asteroid and did not have my starlight, but that event caused the rock to open. They say a tendril of darkness crept over my asteroid’s inner light, the only light left, and touched my forehead. The dark left an onyx shadow over half my face and a false reputation. Mother Lune saw this however,
