This year in ceramics, not only have my projects improved but also my life threw the semester has impacted the projects as well. Over the past two years I been in ceramics 3 times. Each time 
I have met a variate of different people, and seen so many beautiful projects its hard to say which one has been my favorite. I have had the same teacher as well, and she saw me as a freshman and then as a sophomore. I have been around her on my good days, and my bad. In ceramics you definitely have your good days and bad also. Days where I haven't even completed a project, and days where i have completed five. Throwing, footing, and glazing has just became a part of my day during the school year and having to say goodbye to it is going to definitely be hard. Next year I am starting a new journey at BC, where I will not be taking ceramics. Let alone an art class. And to out simply how I'm feeling... like crap is an easy way to put it. My theme for my first semester as an advanced student was "glass". This year my theme is something completely different, and a much bigger variation of topics and doesn't limit me to only being creative through glass. My theme this year is "simplicity vs. complexity".
            The whole thought process for this idea that i thought about was, I didn't just want to have to glaze with clear glaze and some pretty glass. I wanted to get creative with my glazes. Then the idea was spread to the fact that, maybe if i have 20 project with a simple shape, nothing special to them but the glaze people will really see how a complex glaze can change a boring project to something fascinating. You can mix two completely different colors and get something amazing. there is no certain number that you can mix together, its endless. there is no certain amount of water to add together So that's what i went for. I wanted started just mixing glazes in a bowl and some turned out and some didn't. I was very fascinated to the fact that the way a glaze can turn out looking, can depend on the weight, thickness, consistency, what its mixed with and how long its cooked for. I never got to actually mix glazes, even though i wish i could have. But i am very grateful as to fact that I have experienced with glazes 
 
 
Simplicity is complexe. My idea is that a simple project with a complex glaze? Thoughts?
