This is our research for our sculpture project called symbolism sculptures.
I will  choose 2 of these and research further.
I will discuss why I choose these specific pieces and how they inspire me.

This sculpture is Les Voyageurs, by French artist Bruno Catalano. It shows if you didn't do the job that you like, you won't work happy.
I choose this sculpture is because I like this idea very much, and how he express his idea, your body is empty. You are a working machine, and you have no feelings.

I choose Freedom Sculpture, this sculpture is a 2001 piece designed by Zenos Frudakis, The 7,000-pound, 20-foot-long bronze piece depicts the struggle involved in breaking free from all that holds us back. This sculpture shows someone wants to be free, he wants to escape for some situation.
Zenos Frudakis said he has a feeling that he thought everyone need to escape from some situation—be it an internal struggle or an adversarial circumstance, and to be free from it. I agree him, when you have some problem you do want to escape, and I think his idea is very interesting.

We use clay to made a hand that could stand up. First, we take out a large piece of clay, press it flat, then roughly pinch out the shape of the back of the hand, and then take out one piece of clay to pinch out a long strip, it is the middle finger. Stick it on, and then slowly adjust the shape. The back fingers are the same, and then you can use tool to press out the shape of the nail, and then put it on a round box so that it can stand up without falling down, Finally, we wrapped the wire and finished it. It sound very easy, but it's very hard to make it. Like, the shape of the finger looks very ugly； clay is soft, so it will deform；and the wire is very difficult to wrap up.

Materials used :
clay
wire
tool

Refection:
I think make a hand it sound very easy, but it's very hard to make it. Like, the shape of the finger looks very ugly； clay is soft, so it will deform；and the wire is very difficult to wrap up.
this time I did it not so good, I did it very slow and my middle finger was too long, it makes the whole hand looks very bad.

Materials used: I use a red fabric to make a flag. I use the textile pigments to paint the stars, but it didn't works well, the yellow color was not very bright, and it is difficult to paint on the fabric, so I change to acrylic paint to color the stars, and it was work better than the textile pigments.

Summative sculpture: Meaning and inspiration

# data[].attributes.body
My summative sculpture is about "half caste", this idea comes form the poetry form John Agard. In the poem the narrater was talking about the people that in where he lived are discriminate against “half caste", and he expressed great doubt about why the things like Picasso's painting that used different colors mix together and Tchaikovsky mixed the black key and white key to make a beautiful music can be loved by so many people, but there are many people are discriminate against "half caste", so I toke some idea form this poetry, like I would like to use air dry clay to made a half man and some bandage then, wrap it around the half man. And I draw some piano and some paintings of Picasso on the paper, then I cut it down and stick it around the other side of the half man.

Inspiration: Poem "half caste" by John Agard

# data[].attributes.body
Explain yourself—what do you actually mean when you call me "half-caste"? Is it like when the famous artist Picasso mixed together red and green paint—would that canvas then be considered half-caste? Explain yourself—what do you actually mean when you call me "half-caste"? Does it mean that when sunlight and clouds mix in the sky, that creates half-caste weather? If that's how it works, then the weather in England is almost always "half-caste." In fact, some of those clouds over England are so half-caste, you could say that they are overcast. Some of those clouds are so mean and hateful, they won't let sunlight pass through at all. Yeah right. Explain yourself—what do you actually mean when you call me "half-caste"? When the composer Tchaikovsky sat down at the piano and played both the black and the white keys, was he creating a half-caste symphony?Explain yourself—what do you mean? I'm listening to you with the good half of my ear. I'm looking at you with the good half of my eye. And when I meet you, I have no doubt you'll realize why I only offer you half of my hand to shake. And when I sleep at night, I only close half of an eye. As a result, when I dream, I dream only half of a dream. And when the moon starts shining, I only cast half a shadow because I'm only half a person. You're going to have to come back here tomorrow.And when you do bring your whole eye, your whole ear, and your whole mind.Only when you do that will you get to learn the other half of my story.

About "Half-Caste"

This John Agard poem criticises the use of the term "half-caste", a popular British slur against mixed-race individuals.

The poem demonstrates Agard's subtle cleverness. He assumes naivety and mock-stupidity, asks the listener to 'explain' what is meant by the insulting term 'half-caste'. Agard then applies the idea of incompleteness to the world around us. So, the insult is converted to a joke when Agard says, for example, '...mix a black key/Wid a white key/Is a half-caste symphony?'.

The overriding tone of this poem is humorous, the most effective way, as Agard is no doubt aware, to achieve understanding. There are, however, mocking, sarcastic undertones. The poem works best when spoken aloud in performance.

Structure
The poem comprises four stanzas, two concise three lined stanzas, know as tercets, at the beginning and end, which form an introduction and conclusion. The two longer stanzas contain Agard's humorous word-play and refrain 'Explain yuself'. There is no regular rhyme scheme, although occasional rhyme, and line lengths are varied. This occasional rhyme/half-rhyme, along with the short lines, give the poem a rhythm that belongs to traditional Caribbean street poetry, poems that (like this one) were designed to be heard, not read.

Language
Agard uses the dialect with which he grew up, with the phonetic spelling that enables it to be universally understood. The voice is that of the poet, challenging another person who uses the derogatory term 'half-caste'. Agard gently mocks the speaker by himself assuming innocence, asking 'naive' questions that highlight the preposterous nature of the language used.

Where our idea comes from?
Our final idea is step by step. We are divided into three groups first, all comes up with severe theme, then we choose the best 3 we all agree. Which were death, five senses and mask. After a discussion we finally decide our idea on death and five senses.

How we are going to present it?
We're going to use symbolic sculture to present our theme

# data[].attributes.body
What our final design will be look like?illustrate it
The theme of our final design will be a hollow broken shell egg, which is filled with body organs wrapped in a gift box. The outermost layer of the broken shell egg will be hung with a donation card of different countries and races.

What is our main theme?
"Death is not The End, its REBORN."

Why this is the best way to perform our theme?
Due to a lot of reasons, First of all, considering our actual situation, most of the materials we need to use are familiar to us. The work can be divided into three parts, enough for the whole team, and everyone can have a task. Secondly, a broken egg represents rebirth, and for us, death is sometimes not the end, but also the starting point, because you can live in another way.

# data[].attributes.body
What materials we are going to use?
Group 1's material using:
Wire(Different sizes)
Clay
Hot glue
Tape

Group 2's material using:
Colour pencil
Hard paper(Cards)

Group 3's material using:
Clay
Box
Acrylic paint

# data[].attributes.body
How work are separated?
The work are separated reasonably, we decide to separate the whole team into 3 groups and will be change through different time period;
At first, Group 1: Max(group leader), Jason J and Henry. They are responsible for the outer egg, they will first build a small model as a first try, to see what the challenges they will face toward, and write down all the steps and the measurement of the whole egg.

Then, after the build of the small model, this group will move forward to material preparing, the group member will increase due to the work increase, they will be; Max(group leader), Jason J, Harry and Henry. They will be organizing all the materials they are going to use.

Afterward, they will start building the base.

How work are separated?
The work are separated reasonably, we decide to separate the whole team into 3 groups and will be change through different time period;
At first, Group 2: Nicole(group leader), Dan and Harry. They will go online to find out different nationality's donation card, the work looks easy but it isn't, they take a lot of time finding out 7 of them.

Then, after finding out the 7 different cards and sit the website, they start to draw them on paper, the measurement and the material they plan to use. Now the group member are: Nicole(group leader) and Dan due to the work fit best to them.

Afterward, when finishing the draft copy of the card, they make sure the size and start making abd finishing the 7 cards.

How work are separated?
The work are separated reasonably, we decide to separate the whole team into 3 groups and will be change through different time period;
At first, Group 3: Shelly(group leader) and Amy. They will go online find the image of the organ we decide to put in to the gift box, they will draw them down.

Then, after all the draft of the organ they make sure the measurment of each organ and start building by air dry clay make sure every 1 week they can produce 2 finished organ.

# data[].attributes.body
Group 3's process:
In this group I drew the organs. We need to use clay to make 8 different organs, like lung, liver, eye ball, brain, kidney, blood, heart and bone. Amy drew the lung, kidney, blood and heart. I think Amy did very great job, she drew the organs fast and clearly, and she drew the most of the organs. Nicole drew the liver. And I drew the eye ball and brain.I didn't use the color pencil, I only used a pencil to draw the shadow of the organ. I think it will makes the organs give you a three-dimensional effect.

Material:
pencil
colorpencil
clay
acrylic paint
box

Refection:
At first we draw the draft about our 8 organs, it can helps us understanding the organs that we have to make, it will also be more convenient to do our organs.

this week, I finished a half of the brain and I started another part of the brain. I choose to do half of the brain first, and then do the other half, which will make it easier to carve the brain textures on it. I used a lot of tools to carve the brain textures on it. The process is also difficult, because the textures on the brain have a lot of details, so I must be very careful in carving.

# data[].attributes.body
In this week, I continued carve the brain textures of the another half of the brain. I gently carved a general pattern first. And then I added the details of the textures.
And I keep the brain wet, so I can make the brain's surface very smooth.

This week, I made two eye balls, and I want it to dry, then I will paint it. And I started to draw a big heart.

# data[].attributes.body
this week, I continued draw the big heart.

# data[].attributes.body
I brush the glue o the brain to make it shinny and good looking.

# data[].attributes.body
this week, I started to paint the eye ball, it is a little bit difficult, because blood thread is very small, thin and concentrated, and the pupil is very difficult to draw.

# data[].attributes.body
In this summative, I learned a lot and made a lot of progress. For example, I learned how to use clay to quickly complete an organon and modify it. After the holiday, my brain was damaged. I polished it smooth with frosted paper.
