Intro to Sculpture

Main Project: 

Plan: 

Inspiration:

1. I picked this project because I really liked the idea of taking old or common objects and turning them into something new and unified. I was drawn to this medium because I liked how in each sculpture I looked at, I could see each tiny piece individually and also see how everything fit together as a whole to make the piece.
2. Some difficulties I had to overcome in this project were working with tiny and sometimes delicate pieces, getting things in position exactly the way I wanted them (especially the tiny ribbon bows I had to tie), and repeatedly burning my fingers with hot glue.
3. I think the robots themselves are the most successful part of this piece, because I think they are very fun and individual, and for the most part they turned out exactly how I wanted them to. However, if I could change one thing, it would be the blouse on the bride robot because I couldn't get it quite right.

Mini Magazine Challenge: 

1. In this project, I enjoyed picking out the pictures from different magazines to use for the piece and making them into a fun shape. (I mainly used pictures of nature scenes from an issue of National Geographic from the 1970's.) However, I didn't like working with hot glue because when I tried to put it together, the magazine poles kept getting glued to my fingers and I kept getting burned by the hot glue gun.
2. From this project, I learned about how you can make sculptures that are abstract and vary based on the angle you look at them from, and that hot glue is difficult to work with.
