You will create a bas-relief sculpture of organic subject matter. This can be a portrait of a person,
an animal, plant life, or a fictional character or animal.
1. Begin with at least 4 sketches of your ideas.
2. When you decide on your subject matter, create TWO full-size (8 1/2 x 11), DETAILED
sketches: one of the front of the sculpture and one side-view (profile) to show how objects
and forms will project from the surface.
3. Consider the entire surface of your clay as a composition, rather than just a floating image
surrounded by negative space. You may use borders, background images and surface
texture to enhance your composition. Be creative in adding images and texture s that did
not exist in your original source photo.
a. Your design can extend off the edges of your clay slab, but not by more than 1. Any
additive elements must be no higher than 1.
4. Before starting your larger sculpture, take 30 minutes to create a small (4 x 4) tile with an
ADDITIVE sculpture of a leaf or other biomorphic form. Experiment with additive and
subtractive methods, as well as texture.
a. Then you will complete a WRITTEN reflection in your sketchbook about this
process. Address the following questions:
i. What did you choose to sculpt and why?
ii. What did you find most challenging and why?
iii. What did you learn that you can apply to your larger, final sculpture?
5. There is a limited window of time for this project, so it is very important to keep pace with
the class schedule. You must work EVERY DAY during this project, as you cannot take your
sculpture home to work on it.
6. Craftsmanship is VERY important to the overall success of your work!!
7. You will also complete a written reflection for your final sculpture. Questions for that will
be posted on Bulbapp.com later in the unit.
