For this project, I created culturally different slab tiles. I took the idea of opposites literally and made a wild west themed tile and then a tile depicting Great Britain. GB is often thought of as more refined and the wild west is thought of, well, as wild. The cultural difference was refined compared to wild and free. In my artwork, I'm viewing the issue that the wild west has a certain serenity and how GB is often recognized by the English Bulldog, an animal. While I was creating my artwork, My wild west slab fell apart but, as you can see, I repaired it without flaws.For my GB tile, I had to decide whether to glaze the dog, or to paint it. I'm going to paint it but, when this picture was taken, it wasn't painted yet.
