When I made the animal head for my figurative piece I went through a lot of struggles. At first I couldn't even put my two pots together in a sphere without squishing them. So then I learned that I could ball up newspaper and put it inside the pinch pots so that I could squish and mold it without it caving in. For my figurative piece I decided to use the phrase "Speak no evil, Hear no evil, and See no evil." I really liked this phrase and I have seen it before on clothing and other places, so I decided to use it. I decided to use monkey heads because I've seen it in a picture and other people have said it reminded them of the monkey emojis. Then I decided to create a slab and three head holders for each head to or placed in and then used watercolor and painted puzzle pieces to create a cool affect. This piece in particular doesn't have a meaning to me, it was just a project that I thought turned out well and I enjoyed making it.
