  1. this is pretty cool, as of right now i dont understand the shapes but i guess i'm not looking at them in an artistic way so they seem kind of dull right now.

  2. I think free form is a way for anybody to have artistic ability no matter how poor their clay skills are.

  3. i think that free form is prety cool, mainly because i am not very artistic so if it looks bad i can just say that it is free form. also it is cool to just make kind of what you wants and everybodys work looking different.

  4. I really like all of these sculptures! My favorite one is the first one because it is really tiny in some places but bigger in others, and that is hard to do with free form. They are kind of like the ones we are making because they start with a simple shape at the bottom and grow from there.

  5. Free form allows every individual's pot/sculpture to be completely unique, as opposed to just being different details on the same design.

  6. i think that free form has a unique way of not having any set in stone ways it can be done. all free form sculptures/pots are totally different.

  8. I really enjoy how each of the sculptures flows in each direction. They are similar to our own clay pots in that they don't have a set structure the potter just molded them into a random designs that represents the freedom of art.

  11. I like these sculptures. Their form makes them stand out. It looks more fun than the free form clay work.

  12. after seeing all the sculptures above, it feels like it will be very hard to make any of those, it will need a lots of time and patient to build it up, and also will need a high tech and ability to make it.
