Project 2, Student art show submission, the Nekked Jug

My proposal for this project is a Nekked Jug. It will be small, cream pitcher with a woman's face for the spout, and a nude female body for the handle. The cream will pour out the open mouth of the face.

The last stage of my head

This is it, the finished product, well it still has to be cut off the armature, scooped out, stuck back together and fired but this is it! the eyes, nose eyes and mouth have been fixed and my awesome hair has been added.

My Amazing Head

This the the middle stage of creating my head, there is still a lot to do.

Work on the head is coming along nicely

I'm having better luck and more fun recreating my amazing noggin than I thought I would. It hasn't been easy, especially the eyes. The eye lids and ears are my next area I'm planing on working.

What is Sculpture?

Defining art is problematic as all art is subjective to one's own point of view.

As a Noun: Sculpture is a work of three dimensional art.

As a Verb: Sculpture is the act of creating a 3d work of art, to sculpt an object out of real, tangible material.

Common materials used are stone, clay, wood, metal or plastic; but sculpture is not limited to these materials or even to a single material.

For example we have Degas 'Little Dancer'. it is cast in bronze an also has fabric and ribbon to enhance the form.

Sculpture is not limited to replicating a known form but can take on any form such as the abstract sculpture is the courtyard of Fluor Daniel Engineering Building at Clemson University.

Sculptures are these things and they are so much more.

My Head, Heroic, Facing East

I think I will not have any accessories other than what I normally have, although I may add real pieces to the finished head at some point. I will desaturated a few of these photos and print them on the laser printer and have them ready for Tuesday.

Project #1 Modeling My Self Portrait in Clay

How to describe my head, or the making of it from clay? I intend to include all of it, my awesome goatee, my glasses, my pony tail and also my receding hair line. As to the expression I will have it is somewhat hard to say. I’m thinking of something to represent my working class background.

Something stoic, maybe with accessories, like goggles, and a dust mask, things I personally wear whilst crafting things of woods. The accessories might have to be separate pieces that can be glued on after they have been fired.

Pictures will come later after I have solidified my ideas somewhat.
