First, I would like to discuss the merits of the argument that the author assumes that the pencil is for anyone that can read and write. I totally disagree with this merit because, what about artists both young and old who draw and use their creativity on paper through the pencil. Are they not using the pencil, it is a proven fact that people with disabilities and impaired in some shape or form can benefit from art, especially Alzheimer’s patients. The reason why I disagree, is that the pencil is for those that have not yet learned to read or write because we have all been through grade school and if it was not for the pencil we would not be able to communicate, read, or write. You see, the pencil is for both young and old that are still
All artists are influenced by the culture they are from. Our experiences and the environment in which we were raised shapes us, and thus the works we produce as artists. This essay will discuss, compare and contrast two artists from different cultures, and their ceramic artworks, with a focus on how their cultural background has influenced their art. The artists that will be discussed are Janet Fieldhouse, who is influenced by her Torres Strait Islander heritage and Aboriginal artist Dr. Thancoupie Gloria Fletcher.
My role as a teacher is to create stimulating classes giving the learners the opportunity to develop and achieve skills associated with ceramics practices. I start by firstly understanding the assesment criteria set out by the AS board,

Here is a place where Joint Task Force Guantanamo Troopers can relax, unwind and explore their creative side as an outlet for the stress and anxiety from a long week at work. On this Friday night, (need actual date.. can’t say day of week) a small class of five students gathered to learn ceramic molding, many of them starting projects intended for use as one of a kind Christmas gifts or personal souvenirs.
Robert Penn Warren had many of the same experiences as the regular child: he had disagreements with his parents, did much of what they didn’t want him to, and turned out to be one of the most respected and well thought of authors in American history. Warren’s life was filled with many failures and these experiences had a heavy effect on him and his writing. Robert Penn Warren was a man heavily affected by a fractured relationship with his parents, a deep connection with his extended family, and a feeling of inadequacy; all of these factors led to his writing of All the King’s Men.
Australian ceramics has experienced an exciting evolution over the past 60 years, when ceramics was first offered as a full-time course at RMIT in 1947. At that time, the “high priests” of pottery were Shoji Hamada o f Japan, and Bernard Leach in the UK, who shared similar philosophies and aesthetic values. Leach wrote “The Potters Book” which was to become the ‘bible’, or text of choice for the many tertiary institutes around Australia who were opening up ceramic courses to satisfy the growing demand for training in what was seen to be an alternative career path in Australian arts during the post WWII years.
Today, I would like for you to meet someone that you may have already met or know nothing about. She's done karate, she's read her favorite book, 13 reasons why, a bajillion times, she's dealt with younger siblings, she's done it all, well not all, but a lot of things. And no... she's not basic, she's so much more than that. Her name is Leah Gissel Reyes or Beah, as her family calls her. Since the day she was born, April 13th, 2001, she grew up with a passionate dedication towards drawing. She's an extraordinary drawer, if I were to ask her to draw Gissel from Enchanted, her drawing would probably look close to perfect. She enjoys drawing so much that she even considers it to be her favorite subject in school! But hey, along with a favorite
I graduated from Hilliard Darby High School this past spring. My love for art began very young with my father who always made sure to encourage my creativity. I remember making coil pots with him during the summer and then painting them. In the ninth grade I took painting which I immediately became attached too. For the past four years I have continued to expand my abilities and strengthen skills with the help of my teacher Mrs. Kulick-Brown. From there I have completed several commissioned pieces for teachers and their families. Painting has taught me a lot about color and composition. During high school I also was involved in ceramics where I competed in the annual ‘Feats of Clay” competition. I love the focus and serenity I experience
Number Eight: You Can Draw a 35-Mile Line With One Pencil. The graphite within a single pencil is enough for your to draw one line that is 35 miles long. In case you didn't know, graphite is the crystalline form of carbon and is the most stable form of carbon under regular conditions.
When one says “pencil,” a image of a long, round object appears in everyone’s mind that is blunt on one end and sharp on the other. The structure of this pencil can be also used for many different things including pressing small buttons such as reset buttons, getting things out of reach, and pointing things out to someone. A significant part of the pencil is, for example, the point of the pencil. Using this point, I can stab holes in something, or use it as a huge substitute needle, provided that the pencil is sharp enough. As long as one has creativity, there can be infinite possibilities when using the structure of a

I found my home in the ceramics department a little over a year ago after a slightly distressing period of exploration. I was initially won over by the tactile nature of clay but I soon discovered that ceramics encompassed everything I wanted in a medium. I have the freedom to move between art and design and with its virtually endless possibilities of making, the field of ceramics will always keep my curious mind fed.
The belief that all geometric constructions should be done using a drawing program is not better than the traditional method is wrong because not all students can afford an expensive drawing program, for example AutoCAD, a 3D drawing program cost $185.00 monthly, or $1470.00 yearly and finally a whopping $4410 for their three-year package. However, a straightedge can be as cheap as 50 cents and a compass for only $2.99. A student would have to purchase a computer to use said drawing
