For this clay tile project, I decided to sculpt the rainforest because that is my most favorite biome. The objective was to create a biome and then paint it. I decided to do a rain forest because I love all the animals that are there and all the greens that surround them. I enjoyed making this project because I was able to learn how to work with clay and make it into shapes that I wanted. I used all sorts of carving tools when sculpting the clay tile. So I was definitely able to gain skills when working with familiar materials. The only issue that would really come up was worrying about making the shapes too thick or not being able to sculpt it well because the clay was too hard and dry. I learned that there are three types of hand building; pinch, cool, and slab. I also learned how/why you are supposed to scratch and score. I took my teachers idea when I added layers to the leaves. I had lots of fun working on this project because I was able to incorporate two techniques that I learned this year which were sculpting and painting.
