The call for entry

While there is no call for entry, the art students are encouraged to explore the power of their expressions in several media, including ceramics.

The ceramic art pieces

 

A very realistic looking combination of a drill and a machine gun.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Very realistic manifestations of shoes.

 

 

 

 

 

I’m not sure what makes one white and the other black rhino. It looks like shino glazed pieces where the glaze pulled back to show the underlying darker color of the clay.

 

 

Great looking dog portrait!!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This a very simple, but very accurate depiction of a coral.  Although to me it looks more like an underwater sponge. The double structure and the design that makes it look like the two side are hugging each other are additional features that make this piece very life-like.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These pictures of Ashlyn Smith are cool looking mugs based on various body parts. You can recognize the upside down nose on the image at top right. On the image at left there is an eye at the bottom, and a uvula coming into the mug.  As a teacher of anatomy and physiology, I liked these pieces a lot.

 

 

 

 

 

Very impressive work.  Interesting glaze choices for a portrait.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Not sure what the title reference is about. The glazing of the body makes it look like it’s ready for the upgrade by either of the faces/masks that are in the hands.
