Information about me and the class.
My name is Aidan Paliotti and this is my first time EVER taking a ceramics course let alone an actual artistic class. I started to enjoy the class more and more as the semester progressed. I also began to understand more about clay and the way it physically works to form into different shapes. For example, making a cylinder which is more straightforward and basic compared to creating a bowl. Throughout the vlog, you will see how interested I become in ceramics and even some video of me performing. Some of the performing videos are not too great but it shows my whole experience in the class. Below are three pictures of my first ever true cylinder.This is the first time ever I have taken a ceramics class in my life. I really like throwing and making cylinders, but making houses is more special to me. There is also my "Overview of the Elements of Ceramics" which expresses my experience in the Elements of Ceramics. The process of building a house seems fun by connecting different size slabs together to make one product. In addition, I seem more efficient when building a house than anything else. I got this idea because i thought that could make a complex piece (like a house) with just simple slabs. Robert Winokur shows a great example of what I love about ceramic houses with their neat crafting and structure.
