Monster 

Plan: 

​1. Create a cylinder shape for the body + carve out inside of cylinder

2. Create a sphere for head + carve out inside + attach to body 

3. Let body and head dry so its stronger/won't fall 

4. Attach teeth and other details (soccer and baseball, thing on head, etc...)

5. After first firing, glaze piece according to drawing

Reflection:  

​I am happy with how this piece came out. I like the bright colors. Turning my third-grader's drawing into a doable sculpture was challenging, but I think I brought it to life, I hope he'll be happy with it too! The other hard part was getting it to stay up. I had to wait while it dried, using sponges to hold it up in the position I wanted it to be in. It cracked during the first firing and I tried to fill it with glaze before firing again. You can still see the crack, but it didnt break all the way so I'm glad! ​
