At first, I was wanting to make my project enormous like most of my other artworks have been. I then realized that it would be better to make it smaller because if it was large the feet would have fallen off easier.
I began working on my artwork by making four duck feet. I rolled out a large piece of clay, then I cut out the shape of the feet. After that, I rolled four legs in the shape of a cylinder. Now that I had made the duck feet and the legs, I just combined them. Finally, I scored and slipped all of the feet on top of each other to make a tower.
My artwork symbolizes the dead ducks of Taylor. When people see my artwork I want it to be a reminder to people in Taylor that there needs to be more protection of ducks. Many ducks are killed due to drivers that do not care about ducks.

I decided to use glaze on my bowl because I wanted to mix freckled brown and turquoise together. Earlier this year I mixed the two together and it made a color that I really liked. So I knew it would look good on my bowl.
