Pumpkin 2017

Pumpkin Carving for class.    I painted it with glo in the dark paint.   Can't wait to see how it looks at night!!

Relief

This week we are composing a "life" relief from clay.     We will pour it with iron later in month.     This is a small 6x6.   Very difficult to work with the small size and the soft oil based clay.    Looks like "primitive" art.    Wish we had made a pottery piece.   I could have gotten into making a memory jug!

Wood Sculpture

For the conversion from a paper sculpture to a wood sculpture, I decided to paint the 7 wood blocks as flags of European countries (France, Italy, Austria, Germany, Belgium, etc.)   I kept the design and negative spaces on the surface.    It still has the appearance of razor blades stacked.    Wood is definitely not my medium.   I loved the project put the precision needed to work in wood is crazy!!
