Choice Word: Bountiful


Please critique your finished artwork.  How well did you express your "word?"
I really like how it turned. . . Not quite sure what it is but it actually turned out how I was planning and I'm surprised. Especially since clay can be frustrating to work with sometimes. I'm really curious how it'll looked glazed though.
I broke a small corner off of it when I was moving it to take a picture, which is fine. It kinda fits in with the rest of it still and the break is at the front so I guess I can just pretend I meant to do that.

What was successful about your piece and what needed work?

I like the pieces being separate. Somehow it makes it seem more dynamic. The I-beam for the center piece really worked well-I wouldn't have been able to do the project the way I did if I hadn't done that. I really love the textures and tried to make them fit a 'theme'. Swirls on the middle piece for air. And then the others to represent 'layers' in nature.

Please explain one alternate idea you had for your word?

A couple ideas I had were kinda just variations on this or maybe doing a drawing or painting of a field. This felt more original and I felt it was a more interesting way to represent the word bountiful. Ending up choosing this version though since it kept the factors I liked and wasn't too cluttered or anything.
