for my sculpture class.

we had to create a 3d sculpture {couldn’t be flat} out of ANY material that we wanted to use. anything. popsicle sticks, tree branches, bronze, clay, qtips, you name it.

the sculpture had to relate to us personally in some way.

here’s what i did…

i spent a couple of weeks saving these:

then i sat down and made this: in my opinion, it’s a much better self-portrait than the clay one below.

whatcha think???

.....

my latest project in my sculpture class, was using oil-based clay to make human face features.

first we started with making large replicas of Michelangelo’s David.

then after practicing those facial features, we took our clay and put it on to a head stand to start our own self-portraits.


we just had the class critique on this project, and i took a group picture of most everyone’s portrait in the class. i numbered them, and can you guess which one is mine?click on the picture above to view it larger. i will post the answer soon!

.....

my last two projects in my 3d design class…

the first below, is a 3d-banana. using matte-board and hot glue, we could choose any fruit or vegetable as our model but the focus of the project was recognizing the different planes on the object.

lesson learned: matte board is very difficult to cut.

next, just like this project i used plaster again, and we were assigned to choose any animal/human bone and make our own abstracted version.

lesson learned: wish bones are always meant to be broken. while in the process of carving, it broke four times. thank goodness for super-glue!
