Sometimes we make things in class that seem more like "craft" than Art. Regardless of whether you feel you are being "crafty" or "artsy", it's a pretty good feeling to see things that you have made on display. It's an especially good feeling when you give something you made to a friend or family member and they put it on display because they appreciate it.
An artwork shouldn't only seem valuable because it is in a museum, or it sold for lots of money. The value of art comes from the feeling you get while making it, and the appreciation you have for it when it is later on display. How's that for a hippie dippie interpretation of Art!

Ugly Face Vessel Reunion?
I know a great many of my students have made "Ugly Face Vessels" while in my 3D class. My wife has one that I made on a shelf that she filled with the branches of a twisted willow tree (yes, not just a Harry Potter made up tree). If you are reading this, I challenge you to send me pictures of your Ugly Face Vessels so we can see how you have chosen to present yours... or just to see how "Ugly" it really is. I'll devote a future blog date to pictures of the "Ugly Faces" of my students!
