Today we started our new project - enlarging an ear in clay.
We have to scale up an ear 1:3 measuring the dimensions accurately.
Simon Stringer, a sculptor, came in to help us on this two week project. We had an introduction lesson with him where he taught us how to measure the wax ear cast with calipers and scale it up to make sure our clay ear was to scale.
This is what my ear looked like after 1 hour 30 mins of sculpting. I'm very pleased with how its looking so far as I've never sculpted accurately in clay before. The experience was also quiet relaxing and therapeutic. Taking photos has helped me to see more clearly what I need to alter.
