Face Jug Evaluation

1. Post a picture of your ugly face jug.

2. CRAFTSMANSHIP: Is your project well made?  What technical difficulties did you have in creating it?  Is your jug free of cracks and burrs?  Is everything smoothed out?  What technique would you like to work on for the next project?  

Yes my jug has been well made-It was difficult shaping the face in the formation that I wanted, but it has no cracks and portrays the face that I wanted it to convey.  Everything is smoothed.  Maybe more glazing and under glazing- also shaping the clay into different formations. 

3. DESIGN QUALITY: Is your design for the ugly face jug visually interesting and original?  Does the face show a dynamic expression?  Are the features of the face exaggerated?  Is the jug aesthetically interesting from all angles?

I think the face looks unlike any other face in the class, which is what I wanted.  The face portrays a sense of disgust/surprise.  The teeth  and mustache are probably the most distinct facial expressions on the jug, but definitely present different expressions. The eyes and mouth work together to present a different type of look. 

4. EFFORT/AMBITION: Did you work hard?  Did you go beyond the basic requirements of the assignment?

Yes I worked on this jug for probably a week and a half, very diligently I might add.  I went beyond what was asked, and tried to fulfill all the requirements to the fullest.
