Hello,
In this project, I have to create an animal, full body, with clay. I decided to do a betta fish. I personally really like betta fish and have had many over the years since I was in kindergarden. I wanted to do something to remind me of them. Also, Ms. Sudkamp told us that creating a four legged animal is harder so I decided that a fish would be easier. I started this project by printing out references pictures of betta fish from different angles. I have six pictures from different angles then I drew out a sketch of an idea for my piece and wrote down a plan. I decided that I want my betta fish to have his tail kinda curved as well as his body. I also talked to Ms. Sudkamp and decided that I have to start the head by pinch-pot and the body would either be made out of coils or pinch-pot as well. I would add the eyes and lips to the face before making the body and the tails and fins would be the last part of my piece. After that, I would add any extra details like the lines around the fin and tails and scales throughout the fish's body that I have before painting it and firing my piece. Right now, I have started the head and added eyes and my next step is to add the lips and then begin creating the body.
