The first type of relief is sunken this is when you carve into the surface of clay making an image or design, this is the category my pieces fell into. The next type of relief is risen this is when you attach clay to the surface to create your design. The third method of relief is book relief this is when you carve into a book, creating different layers eventually becoming your drawn image. My medium was clay, I picked clay because its my favorite thing to work with. I love how every piece you create with clay has a different vibe. For my tiles I made up the drawings for my design and put it on tracing paper, traced it onto the clay and carved them out. When I was done I fired them then painted each with a similar color scheme. I am most proud of the precise lines and sides in this piece. I think its very clean line and organized looking which I am very proud of. If I could change one thing about it I would take the relief I did and put it onto some sort of pot or box. I felt like the tiles were a little too simple and boring. Overall I think this was a good simple project.
