My last week of school before finals!

This semester in school has flown by! I took two classes online and one class at school. My sculpture class was the only class I had to take in school. When I started the class I never really thought I would love it but now that the class is coming to the end i want it to keep going! Having way too much fun and still have so much to learn! I wish there were more sculpture classes. The biggest thing I have taken from this semester is that I really need to step up my game! I haven't been giving my all and I need to start getting noticed by my professors. So by fall that is my plan...no more slacking! :)

The picture above is the bronze process. First you start with your idea and mold it out of clay, then I coated the clay mold in latex, next I poured wax into my latex mold to make a wax positive of my original clay creation. My idea was based on something I was proud of. For me that was signing up for my first Ragnar Relay and finishing it! I thought if I was going to create a bronze sculpture that a race medal would be perfect! When we poured the bronze it melted the wax and then you had your original sculpture now in bronze! I still have some work to do on my bronze sculpture but I am happy it worked out! Now I want to make more bronze sculptures!

Here are more pictures of the bronze sculptures by some of my classmates:
