4) This piece is a decorative, sculpture piece, and was most probably hand-molded as there are no recurring patterns or shapes and has a completely organic body. The artist would have used different types of stick tools and knives to help with the accents in the piece for example the claws and the ears.
5) A hare is depicted in this piece. The hind claws of the sculpture have been exaggerated a bit to make them look bigger in proportion to the head which is smaller. The colour used is a pale, washed blue colour shared with off whites, which give this peice a rustic feeling as it gives it an old, worn look. The work has also been glazed to give it a finishing shine.
6) I find this piece very earthy and very warm because, the creature depicted is a very lively creature and often used in things like nursery rhymes and stories, which gives the art matter a very childish aura. I enjoyed looking at this beautiful piece.
7) Shape -the overall body of an art piece. The shape in the hare is a very whimsical one has the hind legs are not really in proportion to the rest of the piece.
Colour - the pallet used on the piece. The colors used are of a blue to grey pallet, and also includes some off whites and some red-browns. Even though the majority of this piece is paint in cool colors the overall effect is very warm.
Texture -the feeling of the surface of the artwork. The piece was glazed therefore it has a smooth shiny texture which gives the finished product a refined, antique look.
8) Lorrine de Richelieu does not own any existing websites, however she is often mentioned in reviews about local ceramic competitions and as far as I know is "up and coming". Her work is very admired in these reviews.
9) no I feel this piece was lost amongst the others it was placed with, not because they outshone it, only because in was smaller in comparison. The stand it was held on was also not very high.
10) This piece is purely for display.
