So no to sculpture?...

      Once it was decided that I should become a fine artist and not an architect, I enrolled as a full time student in studio fine arts. Initially, I thought photography and printmaking were to be the roads that I'd be taking. In fact, I had my mind set upon it. There were also two things I didn't want to do... Painting and sculpture.

   I didn't want to do painting because I was quite intimidated by it, even though my professor Mr. Michael Nolan would not stop pestering me about it. I had explained to him time and time again that I had never picked up a brush in my life and was not ready to do so. I really didn't want to embarrassed him and much less myself on how much of a disappointment I was going to be... he didn't care, kept insisting.

I didn't want to do sculpture because conceptual sculpture is not the way my mind works. As usual Mrs. Deidre Argyle would not stop whispering in my ear about it either. I told her that I am not a sculpture girl and that I was most likely going to chop off my finger... or hers... and well, we just cant have that...
To my luck, certain classes were canceled and I had to get into OF COURSE, introduction to painting and (I really couldn't go around this one) 3D form and space.

Hahahahaha... I'm sorry, but it was this moment in 3D Form and Space, I told myself, never again! I present to you my friends... Spider Lady!

She is one of a kind, she actually attacks when you turn the little lever on the side. (this is the only picture I have of this geared wire sculpture).








Here is a chair I made in the same class... it is made out of cardboard.

Initially this was not the idea I was going for. It was actually going to be a lot smaller. But according to time in which I had about 10 hours left and my wonderful logic, I went bigger and more intricate... sigh














Continuing with the sculpture idea, in another class (Creative thinking) we had to show out creativity through alternative materials. I of course decided to use a more familiar medium... Chocolate!

Step 1: make sure you have all of your utensils ready for use!

Step 2: make sure you temper your chocolate to the adequate temperatures

Step 3: Make your design using a mold or a guide

 Step 4: put together...

     I had fun in this class, I learned a lot, but I also made my final decision that I was still not a sculpture girl...
