What I forgot to mention in my previous post, and need to talk to my mentor about during my next meeting as well as my teacher, is changing around my initial project proposal in two ways.
1. At the beginning I stated that I wanted to take specific artists art works, and make my own rendition of it. To me now, that feels a bit boring and wrong. Instead, what I've really been doing is simply getting inspiration from anything and anyone. I've found random items lying around that would make nice stamps, seen online a picture of a mug (without an "owner" attached to it) and been inspired, or simply, I'll sit down and see what my hands will make and see it I like it. So to change up my project, I will still look up artists for inspiration and motivation, but I do not want to follow what they do and compare mine to theirs.
2. Define "mug". Some say it needs to have a handle to be considered a mug otherwise its a "cup" and others say it doesn't matter whether it has one or not. Well, for the sake of my project and myself, I want to change it to "mugs & cups". This is because I've made a few cups which I've loved how they've turned out (like the "Egg") but due to a series of unfortunate events, I'm unable to add a handle to them. I don't want to have to throw those out of the pile of pieces I've made for my final presentation simply because some won't consider them a mug.
I'll update on what the decision is from my mentor and teacher. *crosses fingers that it works out*.
