Dan Perlman
Ceramics

This was a great year for me. Prior to this year I have had very little experience with
Ceramics. When I started out in this class, I was very unsure of myself and my
capabilities to throw. Over the course of this school year, my skill on the wheel has
increased dramatically. Its really cool being learning how to do something that only a
small percentage of people can do. Anyone can play with clay, but to create art with clay
is a rare skill. I'm proud of everything that I have accomplished this year. My confidence
has increased, and the pottery that I have made shows great improvement. This class has
shown me. that I'm not a complete failure with art, it has just taken some time to find
something I am good at. Because of what I've learned in this class, I am going to take
another class in ceramics next year and possibly take more ceramics courses in college.
But no matter what role ceramics plays in my life, I had a lot of fun this year. Thanks a
lot Mr. Flick.
