I went to the Art Lab at Snug Harbor. Specifically, I did Ceramic handbuilding, which I chose by randomly walking into a room and seeing familiar faces there. We worked with self-hardening clay, which hardens after about a week. For regular classes they use a kiln and the other type of clay. People in the room were making a pumpkin; I joined them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Our instructor\/teacher told us about his classes, which made me understand that this art lab is made for promoting art classes in their art school. This made me feel a bit bad since I had no intentions of joining their school, and the instructor was very nice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apparently, I wasn’t very good at handbuilding because we had to make a sphere first, and the teacher told me about 7 times to make it round. Honestly, I disagree a bit because pumpkins are a bit flattened on top and bottom, but I’m not gonna argue that my pumpkin was great. I think my classmates didn’t see the great idea and execution behind my pumpkin, but I don’t blame them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
I had to leave sooner to make it on time to my engineering class, so I didn’t get to finish the pumpkin and had to rush to CSI with not fully washed hands from the clay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
