Term 3 Reflection:Lesson 1/2

16.7.10
It is Term 3 and I am continuing working with my little sculpture! On my first lesson back this term, I started to work on more specific details of my body shape (playing the piano), such as the muscles and limbs. When I compared my photo with my sculpture, I noticed that: my legs and arms were too thin, my hands and foot need to have a more specific shape and my position was completely accurate. In addition, I realised how much difference it made when I had a clearer photo of myself playing the piano because then, I can really see the body parts where I need to build up with muscle and limbs (and fat!).

This lesson, while I was working with my lower part of the body, I found it difficult to add papier mache to my feet. I was trying to add a little bit more to my heels but the little bunch of newspaper kept falling off and looked unstable. I thought wrapping another layer around the heels would stick it on but then, my feet became much too big.
