  1. I think that these pieces are really cool. I love abstract art. I think it would be cool to make a vase that has an abstract look to it.

  3. I really like these and it’s more of my style. It doesn’t have a specific thing it is supposed to be you can make it into whatever you want it to be

  5. Olivia Walsh- I really like how smooth he made all of the pieces, in that way I can tell he spent time on them. They're similar to our free form clay work because the sculptures are creative and abstract.

  6. my favorite is the second picture. i like how smooth all the pieces are and it just seems like making something that smooth can be hard to do. the project looks difficult to do anyways.

  7. i like these because its up for interpretation and there isn't a set shape or style it needs to be. I would love to do one of these sometime!

  8. I really like the second and fourth sculptures because of the color and shape. I like abstract art, especially sculptures, because they can be completely personalized and unique. These are like our free form clay work because your free to personalize it however you want and don't have to go in with a structured plan which is my favorite kind of art.

  9. I think that these would be very fun to do because I like to be creative with my work, and I feel that being creative is all this is. My favorite one is the 1st one because I can't figure out how it is just balancing on that one point.

  10. I like how none of them really look like anything but they have a "flow" to them. Not one piece looks similar and they are all very unique. I would like to do something like these in this class because there isn't a "right way" to do it.

  11. I really like the second sculpture because of the shape and how smooth ti looks. Each of these sculptures are different which makes the unique. It is like our free form clay because it allows you to create what you want from scratch pretty much. - alexandra

  12. I think it is very free because he just let the material take him where it wanted to go. This is similar to freeform clay because you are only using your hands to shape the sculpture.
