In a quareter review blog please respond to this …

Please describe your efforts towards participation and leadership. Did you take care to clean well? Mention if you were attentive at the beginning of class every day. 
I attended class everyday, and cleaned thoroughly at the end of class, and during the last few days of class clean up at the end of the semester. As for leadership, I feel that I have performed well when it comes to helping the beginner students. Almost everyday I helped the beginning ceramics students work on their wheel projects, and actively gave advice and critic to those who needed it in class. 

How often do you use the pass?  Are you on task every day and all period? How social are you versus how much work do you do? How closely do you meet assignment deadlines?
In all honesty I don't believe that I used that pass at all this semester, and I am always on task during class, whether is be by making new wheel projects, footing, helping others, glazing, etc. I am almost always actively working during class. As for my social-ness during class, I talk with my fellow students and engage in conversation while working on projects, but I always stay on task while socializing, and do not spend an irresponsible amount of time talking and socializing. When it comes to deadlines for assignments, I can occasionally be a couple days late, and maybe even a week if it takes me a while to make it, but I am normally fairly prompt when it comes to turning in assigned projects. 

I didnt get to make anything this week.. And unfortunately all we have done is cleaning of the room and getting ready for the end of the semester presentations. So, there really isnt anything new to say for this week, although my two projects that I made 2 weeks ago did finally come out of the glaze kiln. My tiny little vase is super cute, but the images that I stained on the outside ran a bit, but oh well, still adorable. At the moment it is holding some of my earrings, since that seems like only thing small enough to go inside it haha. The other vase that I made was glazed in half off white and half this new "copper blue" glaze, which I dont really like too much. Oh well.. Next semester I'm going to dedicate myself to trying to make honestly good shaped projects that I put my time into, rather than just random things that dont turn out so well. Thats my goal.

Keep updating with my blog for next semester as well! 

This is a medium sized vase that I made last week and just forgot to post up on last week's blog.. Kind of just something blahh, I don't really have many idea or things I want to make, so I just threw this in my spare time. Its in the bisque now, should come out on Thursday, my little tiny bowl/vase is being glazed. Its going to be white with stained leaves or a message or something like that. I think.. I'm still thinking of ideas. 

I haven't been able to make anything for this week, everything I've touched seems to have fallen apart.. Just not a good week for ceramics I guess, hopefully it will pick up by the end of the week, especially since we only have 5 MORE DAYS OF WET CLAY! AH! Time goes so fast.. 
Oh well, there is always next semester!

This is a project that I made on the wheel today. I started out with a ball of clay larger than the size of my fist, and I had thrown a fairly large cylinder shaped vase and it broke! I had to keep pinning it, and I ended up having a wad of clay about the size of a small plum. This project to the left may look fairly normal, but in actuality its probably not even 2 inches tall or wide! Its sooo tiny!
