Sgraffito

    Sgraffito is the scratching away at clay or plaster which creates designs and shapes.

I like this piece

    I did like the sgraffito process even though I was not really sure what design I was going for.  I found it hard to judge how deep I should scratch, which was terrifying because I didn't want to destroy my piece.
    I plan on using sgraffito again, because it allows for a lot of creative freedom.

I miss you too, Mrs. Gleeson!

      Over the summer I attended the Governor's School for German.  It was a lot of fun, but it was also a lot of work. We were only allowed to speak german, which was kind of a bummer, but it wasn't that bad until the last couple of days.
      I didn't really read anything interesting this summer because I barely had time to read the required reading, but at least those books were good.  I have been listening to a lot the the Jackson 5 and the Arctic Monkeys. You should check out the arctic monkeys. They are real good.
     We should make big goblet things this year. That was exciting last year.
