Many artists use glThis is a 5.5in by 2.5in bowl. It has a simple shape with a slightly flared lip. It is glazed in shadow green and darkblue malted. The bowl was dipped a little more than half in shadow green and the rest in dark blue malted. The two glazes overlap a little, making a dark turquoise-y color. The mixture of the two colors unifies them together. The dark glazes also draw the eye down, helping create depth in the project.

This is a 14.5cm by 1cm plate. Its is pretty small for a plate. The lip is flat and smooth, rather than round. The plate was dipped in white glaze then painted on with green stain. There is a green cat in the center, saying "meow," with small cat pawprints around the lip. The paintings on the project and it's small size contribute to making the project so cute!

This project is 9cm x 11cm. It is a cylinder with a small belly near the base. The difference between the size of the base and the rest of the project exaggerate the proportions it's proportions. The small belly gives off the effect of making the upper portion of the project larger than it really is compared to the base. The project is glazed in celedon. The simple glaze complements the unique feature of this project.

These two bowls are 13cmx5.5cm and 11.5cmx4.5cm. They are relatively small. Both have a slightly flared lip. The smaller bowl has a very thin base and could not be footed properly, so it wobbles a bit. Both bowls are glazed the same. They were dipped in turquoise matt, celedon, shadow green, and mystery. The colors all overlap, creating multiple shades of green. The variety of the colors vary from light to dark, but because of the overlap, there is unity in the colors.

Projects often incorporate different techniques to manipulate the perception of the viewer. This is a hand and wheel vase. The base of the project is a simple cylinder. There are three leaf shapes added to the outside. The shapes overlap, then curve over the top of the pot. The inside of the project is glazed in turquoise matt. The outside is glazed in celedon. The celedon came out very thing, making it look clear. The shadow created by the leaf shapes and the dark color in the inside of the project draw the eye downward and create a perception of a deeper base.

Many artists use glaze to unify two projects together. These are two small plates. Both have a simple, circle shape. Also, there is a flat rim along the lip. On the larger plate, there is a crack in the center of the plate. Both plates are dipped in mystery and white. However, one is more dipped in white, while the other is more dipped in mystery. On both, the two glazes overlap, creating a small line of a light, gray-blue down the middle of the plate. The dark green/brown and white are very different colors, but the small overlap between them unifies them. Often, glazes can be used to create a sense of unity where it is not often thought of.
