Skeleton to Skin Project Final on Powerpoint

Here's my artist's statement if you can't see it on my picture.

In this first piece of work, this group of apples that has a lot of fluidity, which I fought to be interesting, inspired me.  With my understanding, this assignment was about learning how to use the different types of waxes as much as possible.  So with both designs, even though it’s harder, I wanted to use every type of wax in each form (symmetrical and asymmetrical). 

When I first started, I had a very hard time with the wire wax because it wasn’t as quick as welding; with that I had to be very patient… something I learned much later.  With that, my second round of models is better crafted.  The first ones, I didn’t know much about cleaning up and craftsmanship.  But during the ride, my wax pen was stolen, and I think it was good for me because I got to use the dental tool which gave me more on a knowledge and the experience and the education that I needed.

With the first collection, the Pokemon ones, there is a disconnection between the first two and last two, I tried to show the transition but it wasn't as well planned or as well thought out and it didn’t show what I wanted to. Separately, I was happy with three out of four but as a collection, I think it needs a better transition.

With the symmetrical one, I thought the connection was very smooth which I’m happy with but it wasn’t me as much as I wanted to.  It was a little too simple but I’m happy I went simple.

Overall, as a new learner of casting, I am happy with what I have learned.  Even though, my products didn’t come out as great as I want to, I learned so much and that’s the most important part for me.
