1. i used a lot of tools this semester like a X-Acto knife for cutting cardboard ,a pottery wheel to make bowls and such, and wire to make figure forms. tools have helped me a lot because they get things more precise than just using my hands. 2. my understanding of tools and how to use them correctly has grown immensely. before this class I had no idea how to use pottery wheel but now I know how to use two different kinds. 3. my favorite material was clay because it is so versatile and u can choose if u want texture or smoothness. 4.one technique that worked well for me was spray paint. i didnt like my cat figure at first but once i spray painted it it came alive. i mixed different colors and sprayed at differet hardness's and it turned out cool. 5.one project where the materials helped me out was with my spotted avacado piece. it was just a plain clay coil piece but i used a glaze with shards of glass in it and the effect was really cool and made my piece look a lot better.

i had a problem getting the wire in the right form but i used tape and stuffing to fix it. i think the spraypaint was most successful because it really took my piece to the next level. if i could change one thing i would add purple flowers all over it first i made the form out of wire then stuffedt it then covered it with plaster then i sprsy painted it. i used sanding techniques to get it extra smooth
