Project 1 Clay Model

Creating a clay totem was a little difficult for me because I had so many different ideas that I could have done but I had to choose one that would be a more easier one for making a mold with. So, I decided to throw out all my complicated ideas and lean towards a more simple idea that would still have significant meaning for me. In doing this, I ended up at a cross point of nature and man made achievement with my tree trunk growing up into the space needle. The clay model was very fun to work with and I think that I did a good job with creating the tree trunk and making it keep the look of a tree. I made this totem because I love nature and how it plays into the role of life and I am also from the westside of Washington and the space needle is one of the most well known structures and landmarks of the Northwest. I always have fun messing around with the clay and seeing where it can take you if you let it. So, here is my clay model and I hope you like it.
