Lens-Artists Photo Challenge #42: Creativity – Ceramic art
The theme for the week’s Photo Challenge from Anne-Christine is “Creativity.”
Creativity is the use of imagination or original ideas to create something new or somehow valuable – inventiveness. The created item may be an idea, a scientific theory, or even a joke; or a physical object, maybe a new invention, a literary work – or a painting. – Anne Christine.
I shared my watercolor painting before. Today I want to share my other hobby – ceramic painting.
My first ceramic piece was a free-handed project made with clay. I took a ceramic painting class as part of the Child Development program at California State University, Los Angeles. The students were to create any projects from a block of clay, then painted and glazed them. The professor then put them in the 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit kilt to fire them.
I was pregnant with my daughter at the time and wanted to make something for my daughter. The idea of a nightlight came to my mind. Making a whale with holes from the blowhole, eyes and mouth gradually materialized. A light bulb holder is at the bottom to hold the light shining through the holes.
