May 17-21

1. Continued adding detail to the jaguar sculpture. Added ears, face, paws, and refined the body.
   
2. Began painting the fired cobra sculpture. Chose a variety of shades of brown. Lighter on the belly and darker on the back.
   
3. Finished Jaguar sculpture, allowed it to dry and harden. To be fired in the kiln.
4. Went to writing center. Edited research paper based on teacher's suggestions.
   
5. Finished research paper to date. Submitted it to Mrs. Miranda on Thursday. (included finished works cited)
6. Finished painting underglaze of Cobra and gloss glaze. To be fired a final time in the kiln.
   
7. Continued taking photos of works in progress - uploaded them to the blog.
   
8. Added more information to the presentation keynote.
9. Discussed with Mrs Miranda the "gutting" process. Decided that the Jaguar did not need to be split in half and gutted but instead I poked holes in the thicker areas of the sculpture using a needle tool.
