Clay whistle

   The artwork is a whistle made of clay. It's formed and painted into the famous muppet, Kermit the Frog. The work has texture to it, the texture is completely smooth with no bumps. Kermit has approximate balance because his body and the features of his face are almost the same on each side but are not quite perfectly the same. Form was also used to make the figure three dimensional. I used the principles and elements to make the figure more realistic. I learned that when using materials such as clay you need to be very precise in what texture and form you want it to be.
