Sculptures I did during the Summer of 07

Hi guys, here are some of the work I did in my sculpture 1 class these past summer!
as you can see, I have posted my progression of how we started with the basics of blocking the figure and making sure the proportions were right before jumping into adding details.

The early pieces took long to get the blocking done right using different methods to measure proportions in relations with the other pieces of the body as I was still learning the very basics!

It certainly wasn't easy to do, but it was a lot of fun to work on clay from live models! as well we had some great classmates that were a lot of fun to chat while working in class.





These was the 3rd standing figure we did in class, yet still on blocking stage.



These reclining figure was challenging as it was a bit hard to deal with the forth shortening perspective to work.



The portrait was very challenging to get the blocking as close to the actual person.




These was the 4th standing piece and perhaps the best I did because the extra session allowed me to take the time to add and fix the subtle detail of the forms.
It was hard to pull off the subtle plane changes on the body, and it was very challenging to do the face in that small size for me as i was struggling trying to make the face look real and not looking cartooney as the first couple of times i was trying out without success.
In the end I really enjoyed learning and working on these class and can't wait until next year to take another sculpture class.. as I have sooo much to learn and practice!!!

Thanks! guys! I did learn ALOT from that class, which I could have taken more sculpture classes.. as it clearly helps alot on doing 3D characters and so on.
