Finished with my sculpture!

 My first foam sculpture finished!!

My finished foam sculpture! In my sculpture class we were told to use one large piece of foam and create a sculpture from it.  We were given a word mine was FALCON.  We had to base our sculpture on a biomorphic abstract idea of what we think our word is.  So I choose to focus on the speed of a falcon. They are one of the fastest birds in the sky.  I could have worked on this project forever but because I had a deadline this is what I came up with.  The next time I do a foam sculpture I will definitely know what not to do haha. But that is what school is about...learning!! Also since it is coming towards the end of the semester we finally did our BRONZE POUR!!!! The beginning of the semester we started working on making a bronze sculpture.  It was many steps but we finally came to the end! I was so proud to be chosen as one of the students to be apart of the pour. It was really amazing! I would love to do this process again!And yes it was VERY hot!!! We had to wear these cool heat suits!

We had our open house last night for the art department and my sculpture, among others, was chosen to be featured in the event! So exciting! I can't wait to get more involved with the art department. Maybe next time I will get an award?! Gotta keep pushing!
