Chapter 296 Kudo Shinichi is not that kind of person
In order to make up for the bragging she had done in the past, Sonoko decided to give Kyogoku Makoto another handmade gift.
Compared with knitting sweaters, Yuanzi feels that it is easier to make ceramics, and sweaters can only be worn in winter, but ceramic cups can be used every day.
Therefore, after thinking about it, Sonoko still felt that giving Kyogoku a ceramic cup would be more practical than giving him a sweater.
What a clever little guy!
Perhaps because she was worried that she would give up halfway, Yuanzi specifically encouraged Mao Lilan to sign up for this pottery class with her.
In Sonoko's words, Mao Lilan should also give Kudo Shinichi a ceramic cup made by himself.
In this way, when Kudo Shinichi sees the ceramic cup, he will think of Mao Lilan, and he will not dare to have inappropriate thoughts about other women.
Although Mao Lilan said on the surface that Kudo Shinichi was not that kind of person, he still decisively signed up for the ceramics class, leaving Conan who was present speechless.
The teacher who teaches the ceramics class is named Mino Muneko. He is a famous ceramics master in the island country. He is sixty-two years old this year.
He looks like a gray-haired old man with a Mediterranean hairstyle and a relatively kind appearance.
In addition to Suzuki Seimei and others, there are several students in the classroom, as well as the beautiful assistant Kasama Kikuyo who is responsible for helping manage the classroom.
Seeing the arrival of Suzuki Seimei and others, Kasama Kikuyo first distributed a yellow plaid apron to them, and then led them to the workbench.
After all the students came to class, Mino Zongzi began to explain in front of everyone the issues and techniques that need to be paid attention to when making pottery.
Meinong Zongzi looked around at everyone and said with a serious face: "Ceramic art originated in China. More than 9,000 years ago, Chinese ancestors began to try to use clay and flames to create the simplest pottery. .
In English, the name of China is also called china (porcelain). From this, we can see that the world recognizes Chinese ceramics.
In a sense, pottery has become a synonym for Chinese civilization.
However, Chinese potters are too traditional and conservative. Although they have developed superb pottery technology for a long time, it is difficult to break the traditional concept of "practical and as beautiful as possible".
As a result, the talents of potters are more limited by "making tools".
It can only be explored in the field of pursuing design and formal beauty. Ceramic artists are closer to craftsmen and cannot integrate into the trend of modern art.
Until the mid-to-late 1980s, with the intervention of Western modern art, it gradually evolved into modern ceramic art.
The main function of modern pottery is that it expands the artistic attributes of original pottery, freeing potters from the constraints of "making utensils" and allowing them to be employed in the fields of aesthetics and value criticism.
Ceramic artists can not only continue to make a difference in the original design field, but also give full play to their artist nature and conduct valuable cultural criticism of reality, thus getting involved in many art fields such as sculpture and installation.
To put it simply, the difference between modern pottery and traditional pottery is that modern pottery is completely unrestricted and mainly depends on the imagination of the maker.
Of course! For you beginners, you still have to start with the simplest cups and jars.
Once you have mastered the making methods of pottery, it is not too late to use your imagination.
The production methods of pottery can be roughly divided into: drawing molding, clay slab molding, clay sculpture molding, clay strip building, kneading and blank painting.
Among them, casting is the simplest and most common production method in modern ceramic art.
Today I will first teach you how to make the simplest ceramic cup using the drawing method."
Mino Muneko first gave Suzuki Seimei and others a brief explanation of the development history of modern ceramics, and then placed the prepared clay on the drawing machine.
Using the centrifugal motion generated by the blanking machine and the dexterous hands of Mino Muneko, a delicate clay cup was quickly formed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
So simple!
It only took Mino Muneko less than a minute to make an exquisite clay cup with ease.
Yuanzi and the others, newbies, suddenly had the illusion that ‘I can do whatever I want’.
Noticing the expectant looks of Sonoko and the others, Mino Muneko said with a smile: "Everyone, let's try it out for ourselves first!"
The most critical step in making ceramics is mainly the subsequent firing. When using clay to make embryos in the early stage, there is no need to worry about failure. The clay can be reused anyway.
Therefore, Mino Muneko did not continue to explain too much theoretical knowledge, but decided to let Sonoko and others try it themselves first.
What you get on paper will eventually make you realize it is shallow, but you definitely know that you have to do this!
Only when Sonoko and others started doing it themselves could they discover the problems they encountered when making clay cups, and Mino Zongzi could better teach students according to their aptitude.
So when Sonoko and the others started trying to make clay cups, they found that the clay was a little out of control.
It seems very simple, but if you want to shape these clays into what you want, it is not as simple as imagined.
Brain: Easy! I can do it.
Hands: No! You didn't.
Looking at the clay cup that was constantly deforming in his hands, Yuanzi felt bad all over.
Although the method of making clay cups seems simple, it tests the maker's state of mind and hands-on ability.
You must be calm and calm, and your hands must be steady to make the clay cup you want, otherwise the cup may deform if you are not careful.
"Not bad! You three children have very good talents!"
Compared to Sonoko and the others, it was obvious that the three little ones were more likely to attract Mino Zongzi's attention, especially when he discovered that the three little ones actually showed superb talent in pottery.
Needless to say, Suzuki Seimei, although it was his first time making a clay cup, but with the blessing of Dasei-level "Magic", his hands were not only as stable as mountains, but also flexible and versatile. Making a clay cup was a piece of cake.
As a genius drug researcher, Haiyuan Ai's most basic requirement is to have a steady hand and a calm mind. Shaping the simplest clay cup is naturally easy.
As for Conan, the least talented among the three little ones, although the clay cups he made were not as good as those of Suzuki Seimei and Haibara Ai, he made faster progress than Maori Ran and Sonoko.
Coupled with the fact that Conan looks like a child, Mino Zongzi will naturally think that he also has a talent for making pottery.
For an elderly pottery master like Mino Muneko, rather than making a valuable piece of ceramics, he is actually more happy to see the emergence of talented inheritors.
