The reindeer pinch pot is the shape of an oval, will circular eyes, ears, small antlers, and feet. It is about the size of both my hands holding it. It has a smooth surface, with its eye sockets bending in, so its a circle around the eye balls. The ears are bent over, like they are floppy. The reindeer is brown, and the texture of the color looks like marble. There is little white paint on the antlers, and black dots for the pupils on the eyes. One new skill I learned, was how to make a hollow ball, and shaping it into a figure. One art element is hitting the ball of clay with a wooden spoon to deform the circle, and create a new shape for the pinch pot. The pinch pot makes me feel relaxed, because it looks like it is sitting down, and not very active. The neutral colors also make me feel relaxed, by not being super bright like energy.
Rubric: I have created a clay project with some sculptural details that will handle the kilm without breaking. I can slip and score clay attachments onto the main body with out them falling off and they are securely attached. I have some sculptural details in the clay to make the reindeer stand out and become more life like. I would give the pinch pot a 24 out of 25 because I have followed most the rubric, and have added details and texture, and have slip and scored the pot while following directions.
