Week 2 Sculpture

Monday was a holiday, so my week was short...which does not translate easy! Tuesday morning I had to present a proposal of work to my Grad Sculpture class. I like that the class only has 6 students...We could talk about our ideas and get great feedback from the Prof and the other students....I am interested in working with different metals to recreate my thumbnail sketches and then using different patinas to add color to the metals. I am also curious about incorporating Model Magic in the my work...it's a moldable foam...My prof said that I have material I want to work with but I don't seem to have a direction...I guess I'll be searching for a direction for my art to follow....I guess I just want people to feel good about looking at my work. hmmmm maybe I'll follow that path for a short time.

This is a view of my Sculpture studio from my desk...It's a small space that accommodates 4 artists.

 I'm glad to have the space!

 Even though you should have an idea of what you want your work to represent, we are told to make a lot of stuff...It's been suggested to make small and make a lot....My friend Julie said that's my middle name!! Now I just need a statement...

This is another metal landscape. I created it from a salvaged  aluminum file folder. I din't have much success with values and I need to play with the edges some more.  I have another folder so I'll try again...
