At the beginning of time, art was the first history of everyone's culture. It all started from the Earth. Clay is a form of soil, so back then, people had to search hard and long for the right clay. As of now, the clay is already fresh and perfect in a bag for people. As of in ceramics class right now, I do not have a problem finding clay because it begins in a bag. Clay is essential because its the central part of creating the ceramic piece. Clay is art; it is a form of peace and creativity. As making it and forming the clay into some artwork, it takes time and dedication. As working on the artwork, it becomes relaxing and a way of life. It is making these creations show the views of the artist's style and how they feel when making it. Nowadays, as we make pots, we do not get the full experience that our ancestors had, they put labor in their pots. Compared to us, we only take it out of a bag in a small room. Making pots this way is not the most straightforward way of connecting to the Earth and our ancestors. However, the sense of syles that we use connects us to long lost traditions.
