References to Organic Forms
These are the references that I will be looking at to make my five organic forms.
Organic Form #1
This is my first Organic Form that I have made. To make this form, I didn't really use a resource from somewhere. This one was my first organic form so I decided that my first one should be a practice since I hadn't made any before this one. Making this form was a little bit hard, because I tried to make it the way I had pictured it in my mind, but it didn't come out that way.
To make this form, I needed to use some clay, a salsa bowl some paper to go inside of the salsa bowl. you make your clay into a round ball. You put your paper inside the salsa bowl, then you stick your clay inside of the bowl, and begin to form it in the way of the bowl, pulling it up and out. You have to make two half bowls. Then you have to connect them to make a whole circle. Once you connect them, you put a coil around the circle clay where they connect at, so they can stay attached. To shape your circle into the shape you need it to be, you have to use a paddle, and lightly pad it so that it will go into the form you need it to. When you have your the shape you want, you can start to attach your parts that you want your form to have. Make sure you use a magic blanket and some water to smothe out your edges.
The part that I like the most about this form, is how the pedals come out. Each side of the form, has a different amount of pedals. The reason why I made it this way, is because when a flower opens up, not every side opens up equally. The kind of clay I used for my organic form is Soldate. I like this kind of clay, because it makes me think of sand, and it is easy to control. To finish my organic form, I am going to cut out the center, (the part that looks like an x). Once that part gets cut out, I am going to stick a oval organic form inside of it, and then coming out of them will be wires that will stick out of it, it will look like a flower. I am not sure what kind of coloring or glaze I will be putting on it.
The pictures below are all of my organic form, they all show different sides and angles.
