Not to be a complete hater, but not a single one of your pots is level. At all.

Nigger. They're deliberately uneven and asymmetrical.

Is this a bad drawing because it's done quickly and left unrefined?

Is this a bad drawing for being left so simple?

It's a loose, gestural style. It's an acquired taste to many. It shows skill with the media--capable of getting to the desired result quickly and accurately, leaving in and being content with the imperfections.

Yes, I can do perfectly even, symmetrical, burnished smooth pots. I've done exclusively that for a long time. They're boring. Once I got confident in my ability, I stopped doing them tight and controlled. Ugliness is a part of reality, ergo I see ugliness as part of beauty. Ying and yang.

Here's a couple from earlier in the same semester.

The red one was the first I did in this style. The white was about the 10th and last. Side-by-side to show the evolution of the idea.

Symmetrical, even, perfectly controlled. But--see the bumpy shit at the foot of the white one? I leave that there intentionally. ;o

>>23713

Have you field tested that batarang?

goddang those are nice

>>23713 The white one's handle is far more elegant, sexy even.

>>23713

ugly art is the sign of an unskilled artist, quit being emo and actually push your skills further.

That being said, those pots are pretty cool.

>>23727
you're a nigger.

>>23727
If you diss 'art' of any form, that means you haven't truly learned of aesthetic beauty. You're making yourself sound like a douche hun. :\. Most skilled artists become bored with perfection.
I also see the beauty in abstract art and artwork with imperfections, it's more interesting.

Also see.

"In the not-so-distant future, genetic bodymorphing will become the dominant form of cosmetic procedure, due to its lower cost, more natural-looking results, and greater variety of procedures compared to traditional plastic surgery. Case in point: Women who relish the glow of a massively multiple pregnancy, but don't want the medical complications caused by cramming 10+ fetuses into a normal sized uterus, or the financial burden of such an enormous family. By simply blending the woman's DNA with that of a large mammal, she can possess a uterus the size of an elephant's (like the woman pictured), making her look and feel enormously pregnant, even though she is not. Add in a splash of Virginal Breast Hypertrophy and the increased strength of non-human apes (for mobility), and you get the woman pictured here."

And this shitbag thinks this is art... Appropriate veri: "foughable"-- this "art" is foughable.

Art is completely based on opinion.

I think what you are trying to say is that Art is subjective. That is to say, earthen's creepy pots may not be top notch art to Dave, but it is art nevertheless.

same thing

thing same.

I rearranged the words, but the sentence retains the same meaning right? oh wait, no it doesn't.

>>23764

3x4 is still 4x3

Axioms Berlin. A 3 is a 3 no matter where you put it in an equation/function.

The meaning of a sentence can change completely if you move the around words.

see? Common now, I don't want Josh to be right about you.

>>23766
everyone's right about her.

>>23755

agreein' with dis.

make some more pots that I could make and post them on the internet.

>>23766

>>23770
I don't make doorstops sir.

But here's this--one i built yesterday. :o

and this the day before.

don't like it as much.

Opinions on the corner braces? y/n?

Also this.

jus sum dish things.

made with the same iron-rich stoneware as the first four bowls above. intending to salt fire these, so they'll be a richer brown. the glaze should be brown-black.

veri: doy

close-ups of texture on the sides of the first one~~

darker and unglazed because it's not dried yet

i like dis one :3

i'm sure dave loves it. the others too.

>>23779 The concrete-like color and textures in this are unappealing.

They are almost cave-like, which I think could be neat, but the obvious plaster-yness.. is bleh, reminding me of sloppily caulked walls.

When it comes to chaotic looking artwork, I guess I prefer natural or organic looking chaos, rather than the stuff which seems more like man-made contrived flaws.

>>23782 You should make one of these for Marx, only it looks like a human foot instead of a shoe print.

Veri: chouzzen

I went to wtfux and was chouzzen pots to buy

They're not fired, obv. The texture will be much more intense, and they'll have a lot more color to them.

Also it's ovoid, not foot print shaped. :|

...but god dammit, that's all I'm going to see now.

>When it comes to chaotic looking artwork, I guess I prefer natural or organic looking chaos, rather than the stuff which seems more like man-made contrived flaws.

I see your point. I'm not sure how to fix that--to make it less interpretable as contrived. I've tried to think of ways to work erosion into it, but so far it's shown to be tricky. Does the last one strike you differently?

And yeah--criticism is very welcome/encouraged hurr.

i'm not really sure what these are for, the unlevel edges would make them shitty for baking stuff in the oven, i guess you could use it as a normal dish for eating out of or use it decoratively when serving things, earthenware just seems a bit heavy for using decoratively. I mean i'm not trying to be a dick here, but could you explain what the purpose of it is?

>>23804
they're more for looks. i just don't like making things that aren't functional in some way. like designer furniture. except less pretentious.

>>23804
er wait. were you talking about the bowls or the dish things?

>>23809
the dish things. The bowls are cool, i could put salt or small plants in them, or drink out of them like little funky cups.
