Journal Entry #3

Bowls:
Looking at the four artists, Warren Mckenzie, Shoji Hamada, Linda Arbuckle, and Suze Lindsay, they each have a different approach to what they like to create.

Warren Mckenzie:
Mckenzie's pieces are fairly attractive in my point of view. I also, noticed
that his bottoms on most of his pieces are just smaller in
diameter to piece itself and the just straight down. For example this vase you can see how different the bottom is compare to the rest of the vase or elongated bowl.





Shoji Hamada:
Hamada's pieces are different because I see a lot of cubism in them. She
likes the flat edges on a rounded piece. The bottoms of her pieces are larger toward the center of

the piece and narrow towards the surface of a table or whatever she displays it on. For example you can see the cubism and bottom on this piece.





Linda Arbuckle:
Arbuckle's pieces are very bright and colorful. Also, it appears she has many different styles when it comes to her pieces, however the bottoms all look a like. They have the shorter, rounded bottoms that flare out just a bit. For example this bowl she has created you its hard to tell where the bottom begins but looking towards the left of the picture you see that rounded curvature just before the bottom.

Suze Lindsay: (was not presented in any of the blogs listed on the syllabus, found information else where.) Lindsay's pieces are quiet different, she doesn't just focus on bowls or plates, or something specific. It looks like she prefers to test the waters and try many different pieces. For example some pieces don't have defiant bottoms, they just flow into the piece, but if they do have a bottom its smaller than the rest of the piece like on this bowl.
