Face Jug Project #3D Art
Nobody really knows when and where the frist one was made but they predicted that it could be way back to Ancient Egypt. Slaves in the south made them in the 1800s and they had been found on the underground railroad.
Artist in the mountains in the north of Carolina, south of Carolina and Georgia began making Face Jugs in the 1940s and they still make them today.People made face jugs to ward off evil spirits so they have to be ugly and scary. They can also be silly, gross, sad, funny and realistic look.
I got my inspiration from my friend, Namphueng. She gave me the idea of making a sheep. At first, I was thinking to make a giraffe with long neck but Namphueng said we can only make the cylinder shape so I can't do the giraffe anymore.
I think making this face jug is very challenging because I've never mad this before and I'm not sure what to do either. When we are making the face which includes, eyes, nose, mouth and ears, it is hard for me because I'm scared that I might do it wrong and my project won't come out very well. But now, I think my project is fine.
What part of the face jug do I like the most? Probably when we score and slip because I don't have to care about making the score pretty. I can just score, score, score, and score. I also like doing the slip too because when I used the slip, it makes me feel like I'm using a glue and I like putting glue on a piece of paper or other things too.
The materials I used are score and slipping tool, clay, a PVC pipe, a rolling pin, etc. The steps are:
1) I get the air bubble out of my clay and I rolled it a little
2) Use a rolling machine to make my clay flat
3) Wrap the clay around the PVC pipe, but not that tight
4) Score and Slip the clay together so it won't fall apart
5) Start to sketch the face that we had plan on the clay
6) Get pieces of clay and start to make the eyes, nose, mouth, etc.
7) Get another piece of clay, and put it in the rolling machine or use the sticks and roll it, to make the base
8) Score and Slip the base too
9) And get one long piece of clay to make a handle, make sure the handle is leather hard before you attach to the jug)
10) Attach the handle to the jug
I've been thinking about what color should I use to color my face jug. I think I would like to use a peach color to its face and cream color to its fur.
If I can change things about my face jug, I would like to change the face because I think it's too big and it makes my jug a bit ugly but still, many people said it's cute.
