Make a sculpture

Hello again all.

So, today I am sharing with you the sculpture I made for a project in the previous term.

That's my sculpture.

For the project, we had to represent the idea of sacrifice without directly referencing images that relate to sacrifice or saying the word 'sacrifice'.

This was trickier than I first thought.

The sculpture came about as my original idea, and in my head, it looked a lot more better and elaborate.

I guess it holds some truth to it though: how in your head, everything looks amazing and good, but when you try to bring it into the real world, something goes wrong and it comes out looking similar to what you imagined, but not quite what you imagined.

Still, the process of sculpting the figurine was a lot of fun, even though I may have done it wrong.

Building the figure from wire was tricky, because you had to hold the wires together while you use a pliers to bend them together so that they stay put.

Then comes the task of building the clay figurine. But you gotta go fast, before the clay dries and becomes hard and unusable. Even while you're working, you need to sit with some water nearby to wet your hands and the clay you're working with.

That's what I found, at least.

Still, it was fun to just get dirty and use my hands for a change. I might just try and make another sculpture again in the longer holidays for fun, and see if I can make a better looking sculpture that's more similar to what's actually in my head.
