Sculpting Day 1

Went for my sculpting class last friday. i must say that i didnt expect the lesson to be so confusing and boring. basically not only the new beginners (like myself) are in the class, a group of advanced students are using the same classroom, but doing their own work. many times we dont know the instructions given by the lecturer was for us, or for them. moreover, i felt very out of place in class. everybody else seems to be an art student of some kind or have done graphics/design and wat not. i, have totally no knowledge of art in any kind, i cannot even draw!

anyway, with all the confusion going on, we're supposed to be making some kind of a head sculpture. we just managed to make out a simple shape of the head with aluminium foil and will hopefully proceed with the sculpey material. somehow i dont think the class did much in terms of teach and helping us understand stuff, the lecture was helping a couple of the students do most of their work, which i think, does not help these students at all if the work is mostly done by the lecturer. sure enough his/her sculpture will be the best looking one, but what did he or she learn after the lessons?


yes, this is my ugly looking unfinished sculpture. brought it home so i can make some adjustments to it.


this is the side view.

just when i reached home and started unpacking my materials (used in the sculpting class), i noticed that i have left the tool made by the lecturer for us (the new students) in the classroom. it was a small tool, and i got distracted when i was packing the bigger stuff. i hope that the school finds it or i'll just have to be thick skinned enough to ask the lecturer to make me another one.
