To start off the relief unit, I carved an image of mountains out of cardboard. Relief requires the distance to be demonstrated by cutting further into the medium, so the farthest part, the sky, was the deepest part. The do the clouds, one of the closest things, I tore off a thin layer of the top layer of the cardboard. This left a lighter layer than the rest of the image, which helps the clouds stand out more.
The second thing I did was a clay tile. I decided to do a human face to ready myself for the final project. To start, I carved out the empty space around the face. Following that, I carved the details. such as the cheekbones, lips, nose, etc. I didn't have time to glaze the piece, but I feel that the final result is a satisfying start.
