Smoke-fired clay
13” x 20” x 20”
I can successfully identify the shape in this artwork. I see a flower shape somewhat. The clay is formed into a shape that looks like a blooming flower. Texture dominates this artwork. The texture is very smooth. Balance is also evident because the art is evenly spaced out. I dont see a specific mood to go along with the artwork. Overall, I would say this artwork is successful in many ways.

I can clearly identify the objects in this artwork as people. Men and snakes are evident in the piece. Texture is evident in this art. Muscles, clothing, and snakes are highlighted. The mood of this is sort of sad because it seems that the snake is attacking. Overall, I would say this artwork is very successful. It is successful because it is so aged and still looks great.
