My capstone theme is "remarkable observations," which is focused around the natural world and environment. This year capstone students are going to be exploring their ideas through the general theme of color. I will incorporate color into my capstone work by exaggerating the shade and vibrancy of the natural findings I see in nature, such as plants, trees and insects. I expect most of my pieces to include some element of brilliancy and richness, which I'll convey through saturated glazes to enhance overall design.
