This piece shows repetition by the petals. It is a vase in the shape of a blooming flower. The color is white and the vase looks very smooth. The form is very abstract and uses original shapes. The petals are overlapping each other to turn it into an open flower. I really like this piece because it shows how you can take a simple flower into a beautiful vase.

Judi Tavvill Ceramics
Austyn Griego Period 4 Pottery II
In her ceramics work 2011 - Present, her work is a lot like seashells or flowers. It really looks like she threw the piece in some places and hand built the seashell. The piece has a lot of sharp edges but it really does look natural compared to a sea shell. The artist also used a few light colors such as brown and the clay color that is created by firing the clay. I really do like this piece, in my opinion it looks very realistic and natural.
One art work by Judi Tavill is that one of her pieces looks very organic, like an eggplant. The coloring lets you know that it looks like an eggplant, because of its brown and pink shading in the piece. It looks like she used a lot of overlapping in order to get the very real look. It seems to be very smooth inside and rough on the outside which makes this piece functional. What I like about this piece is that it looks very natural since it’s a plant, is functional, and is an oversized version of what it’s supposed to be.
-Vanessa Bencomo
The piece feel so natural and she uses texture and repetition. I love how this piece is white and peaceful. It seems to be bumpy outside and smooth inside. I love how she forms it and I think she hand make it. I overlapping and form feels so natural.
Justina Pola
Judi Tavill used contrast and in this piece and she also used natural colors like white and cream. The piece that I like the most is it looks like a mug and it has a handle, and it has a very nice design. I like this piece because it’s very pretty. It was very intriguing. This manmade sculptor is a very nice piece.

My favorite piece from Judi Tavill’s 2011 collection of pottery is one of the simpler pieces. This piece is a plate with a bowl inside it. Orange and black colors swirl within the plate. The colors contrast each other. The outside rim of the plate was swirled inside to create a small bowl within the piece. I think the main reason I like this piece is because it reminds me of a seashell. The shape is very organic, and unlike a lot of her other pieces, the texture is very smooth. Most of her pieces are different shades of white, organic shapes, with lots of texture. I really like that this piece is a little different and has a smooth texture and contrasting colors.

1. the elements of art on the piece i choose was that the way she put the layers on top of eachothers.
2. i liked the way the piece looked and how they were layered on top of eachother. it kind of reminds me of like something from the ocean.
-Isabela Armenta
The piece I think is beautiful is the creamy white one that looks like something you would find in the ocean. The elements was that it is flat and is layered into a bowl shape.

One of the pieces I like that Judi Tavill is a coffee cup. I like the form to the cup and I like the Rhythm. The Rhythm goes with the cup, the handle to the cup because it goes with rhythm. The spacing to he cup is very good, I like how its kind of of big and small and the handle is very good for big hands and small hands. I like the color to the cup, its makes me want coffee and the color kind of looks like coffee cream to it!
Judi Tavill used several of principles and elements of art in this piece. She used pattern on the outside making it look more abstract. She also used texture for the viewer to see that if you were to pick it up it wouldn’t just be a smooth round bowl. Judi makes her art around nature; this piece could be representing a tree trunk or waves in the ocean. She also used rhythm around her edges of the bowl to make it more abstract. Kailee Mann
This piece is a bowl that is painted brown on the outside and white on the inside. She uses rhythm on the outside by carving in waves to the sides of the bowl. The inside is smooth. She uses contrast by making the outside dark and the inside light. This piece looks almost like a coconut. I like this piece because it is an abstraction of a coconut. This piece is creative and inspires me to maybe use the coconut as my natural repletion project. This piece uses skillful carving technique.

The piece that I really liked my Judy Travill was the one that somewhat looked like a coconut. The elements are principals she used were different colors and 3rd outside art. The inside was a pale, creamy white color, and the outside was brown. The way it was cut wasn’t perfect either it was wavy and imperfect. The outside was carved out into narrow ridges and the inside was smooth. In my opinion I really liked this piece because it looked like a coconut but more intricate and intricate.
The art piece I liked was a small round vase with a redish brown color. The vase looks like she was inspired by a rose rock because they are the same color and texture. I like this piece because it reminds me of Oklahoma, my family and I go every summer and while we are there we come across rose rocks all the time.

The art elements that are used in picture 45 of Judi Tarvill’s ceramics are color and value. Also lines are used to give it a unique look. The texture of the piece is the most unique because most cups are smooth. This cup is very bumpy which is what I like about it. The colors are pretty to! I think this piece was inspired by the ocean because it looks like coral or something that would be underwater because of the bright colors and texture.

I like the kettle (by Judi Tavill), because it reminds me of making tea for my parents. Also, I like the design of the kettle so that i could use it as an idea as a reference.

I like the kettle (by Judi Tavill), because it reminds me of making tea for my parents back home. Judi Tavill uses the elements of volume, designs, balance, glaze, and wheel thrown/hand build to make it looks like it was functional.

i love pottery

I like the way the curves and bends of the pices flow continously throughout her art work. Its like controlled chaos. her goal is not perfection but to create pieces with flow and natural desing. Tino

I like this piece because it is both practical and intriguing. I think the color she used is unusual and the way she curved the cups to have a texture is also interesting as well. The way she made the handles a good size is also handy as well.
Frankie Olson
I like everything about the pot: the warm white color, the generally round shape, the carved out space and form, the light value, and the implied sharp texture. I also like the fact that there is both simplicity and complexity throughout the pot. I noticed that this particular pot appears to be carved cleaner, more organized, and not as random as her other pieces as if she had a pattern to go off of or she had planned this one more than the others. Overall, I think Judi Tavill's pot in picture #34 is not only very unique, but also quite inspirational.
