Assignment 2 | Kirsten Cox

HISTORIC

Bowl, Ptolemaic Period, ca. 200–150 B.C., Egyptian

The contrasting colors and patterns really stood out. The wave-crest pattern is something I would like to try myself. It is a historically common pattern so there would be opportunities for me to look at different techniques and experiment.

CONTEMPORARY

Trophy Bowl, Don Reitz © 1980

This bowl’s intricate and detailed accents along with the organic splashes of colors caught my eye. The gradient colors within the bow are just as interesting as the uniqueness of the outside. This piece is inspirational for our next assignment because of the additions to the handles and rim.

SKETCHES

I want to experiment with shallow bowls and adding handles and/or accents.

Two-Tone Grey and Blue Yunomi

What I like about Jeff Campana’s cup is the unity while using separate pieces. The form is representational of a flower and the contrast between natural form and the color choice is unique.

This platter by Heather Mae Erickson catch’s my eye because I enjoy the playfulness of the dots along with the shape. I love to cook and I can envision a wonderful dinner with this set. The shape is something that is distinctive but practical for its purpose.
