3D Turtle
For my Quarter 2 project, I chose to do Sculpture/ 3 dimensional. I wanted to create something that I would be able to use outside of school. I chose to create a 3 dimensional turtle. My turtle has a rough texture for its cell. The inside is a darker purple/black to bring out the bring green color of the cell. The eyes are yellow to compliment the bright green cell. I would like my work to communication strength, stability, and persistence. Personality a turtle is one of my favorite animals. For this project, I wanted to do something more out of the box. Usually for my projects, I chose something more simple with no meaning. With working with clay for the right time, it was many trials and errors. I was about to work with clay tools to give my turtle certain textures and features. Using Paint for my sculpture is something I usually do for previous projects.
While creating my sculpture I noticed during my test model, the legs were not sturdy enough to stay once the clay dried. I noticed that putting water on your finger tips helped a lot when it came to modeling the clay. Modeling the bottom of the turtle and the cell I believe was the most difficult and time consuming part. I used clay tools to creative a rough texture like an actual turtle. A certain technique that was very helpful during this process was putting water on my finger tips to help better mod the clay. A similar artist who inspired my work is Lakeside Pottery. Something that I am most proud of about my work is it being sturdy and strong. If I was able to change one thing about this project it would be the size, I would like my sculpture to be a little bit bigger. In conclusion, while doing this project I was about to learn many new techniques and how to work with new tools.
