Clay Sculpture

The final sculpture for my 3 Dimensional Design class.  

 This is right after I finished it.  It had to dry completely before it could be fired.

 It is over 18 inches tall.

 I had a couple people tell me that they thought it looked like a heart.

 I made the pattern on the sides by pressing leaves into the clay and then going over the marks to make them deeper.

The diamond shape is not connected to the tree.

After it dried it went into the kiln and was fired.  I got a surprise when I opened the kiln after it had cooled.  The trunk had exploded toward the bottom and it wasn't going to stand up by itself.  After some quick thinking, I was still able to present.  I actually prefer the way it turned out.

Sculptural Response

This is a project that was done a while ago but I forgot to share it with you.  It is a response to a short play we read in Theatre Production.  

 Made out of paper and foam.

Wood Sculpture

Made up of individual triangles stacked on top of each other.

We used 23 cans of spray paint to coat both the inside and the outside.

I admit it, we are the cause of global warming.

It is a little over 12 feet tall.

If you happen to be in Carlson Tower before Monday, October 3rd take a look.

Theatre Production: Little Room

In Theatre Production we made our first scale models.

 Little rooms.  1' = 1/4'' scale.

 They have a window and a door.

A little person lives inside.
