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.

I really enjoyed watching the process from start to finish. The video gave a better perspective on the art of clay. Watching the native gather the clay from the ground was awesome to see. It brought appreciation that we have it accessible from a bag. The native was able to create beautiful clay pots with minimal tools. The native was even able to complete the process of glazing and firing. As we work without the art studio, its inspiring to see that we still have the ability to make great work at home! The video shows that patience and the skills work that has been used from 100 of years ago. It shows how these skills started from using creativity and working with the things that are around us. It is nice to see the tradition is still being past on and that clay can last a long time. In the video I was able to recognize some of the skills that have been taught to us this semester.
