Work in Progress_ Figure

It looks different now...

This is the UNFINISHED second assignment for AP Studio Art that is due next Monday. I was really kind of struggling to make a sculpture based on a live model; ultimately, this is not a direction that I am going to make my theme for the concentration. The clay I used is Sculpey, which basically doesn't dry until you bake it with an oven. This has both benefits and disadvantages. On one hand you don't have to worry about finishing your sculpture in certain amount of time; yet on the other hand, it gets frustrating because you don't really want to make a giant sculpture out of Sculpey and because Sculpey is kind of hard to sculpt in reality. I don't remember myself having any lessons on this before, but it is always interesting to try new things whether or not I would end up liking them...

hmm schoolwork is becoming intenser... and test days are pretty close too..

First Assignment_ Candle Stick

This is the final product of the little pieces of copper I showed in the previous article. I was really rushing through the process of getting it done so a lot of details can be improved both technically and design-wise......  Anyways, there it is.

There was something specific I was going to say but I sort of forgot. Nevertheless life has been great these days. Thanks for every one in my life! Cheesy but it's absolutely sincere...

the shadow!

Model Magic?_ Work in Progress

Forgive me for the bad quality...

   We have a three-day weekends this week because of Labor Day. Nothing much is going on; still the same old everyday life at priory dorm. I don't know what you would call these little creatures I made out of boredom. Some called them tadpoles. and others... ... well, something else. These are made out of kid's modeling clay literally called "Model Magic". It has a very funny texture and dries out very, very slow. It is also very soft in a sense that it changes shape so easily even a finger slightly resting on top of it would make a mark. I didn't clean my hand very well before I started molding so they got a little bit messy. I might do some painting on them after they are dried (the instruction says that it might take 3 days for the material to do so), so we'll see.

Adding color and metal sticks? 

I haven't come up with a good concentration theme yet; major reason is that the inspirations I have seems to differ from one another (I don't know how to put it another way lol)
