For this project, I used clay to create a pencil holder that empathized on the Element of Lines. In my planning period, I planned for the lines to be more detailed and complicated. However, as I started making my pencil holder, it was difficult to make sure the detailed lines were steady all around. So, I went with simple lines around the pencil holder and used curved lines for the details in the turtle's shell. I chose white for a simple color for the holder itself, and blue for the turtle, since it's my favorite color, and this is my favorite animal. It was difficult to make sure that the holder's thickness was constant, but Ms. Schuuman showed me a technique that helped me even it out. Overall, I'm happy with how this turned out, considering I don't have much luck with clay.
