Ceramics Project

What is the medium of your project?  The size?
The medium of my project is a plastic bowl that is about 1 foot by 6 inches. 
1.  What design element was stressed during the construction?
The design element that was stressed was smooth edges that ended in ridges.
2.  What technique was used?
A hump mold was used.
3.  Does your piece serve a function?
My piece is a bowl and can be used to hold things.
4.  How did you create a design for your project?
I created a design for my project using ideas from other cultural patterns.
5.  What did you learn from the project?  How would you change the project if you were to repeat it?
I learned that it takes a long time to make a clay piece like this.  If I could change something, I would spend more time smoothing out the clay on the underside because it ended up being more rough, and I would have spread the glaze more evenly in one direction.
