My sculpture looks like a leaf on top of a root base with the final platform base being black. To make my sculpture, I started with a little bit of clay and shaped it. I formed the platform first, then I started making roots coming up by twisting the clay and smoothing it out until there was a little bit of clay at the top then formed it into a leaf. After the first firing, I glazed it with green, black, and brown glossy glazes. i was going for a tree made out of clay and with human traits. I did this because I thought it would look cool. I wanted to symbolize nature vs. humans. It turned out about how I wanted it. One problem I had was the leaf kept braking in half, even after trying to re attach it multiple times. Finally I had to just glue it.
