This worked exactly how I wanted it to. The colour the clay dried naturally was perfect to represent bones and the texture is quite realistic too.

One of the hands (muscle) I decided to make out of wax. It did not work at all and I ran out of time before I had the chance to make another one using a different material. It was extremely hard to carve the wax and the fingers kept falling off, i tried reattaching then many times but it was too weak to work with anymore. I wish this could have worked because it would have been one of the best out of the three hands. In the end I had to leave it with 2 hands instead of 3 which I was disappointed about.

I tried testing different ways to colour the wax, the bolder red colour was done by melting crayons. I feel that the colour is a bit too bold and also it has quite a lot of small airbubbles and doesn't have the transparency I wanted. The paler pink colour was done sing acrylic, it didn't mix well with the wax and left a ton of air bubbles and paint pockets inside the wax. It does have the transparency I was hoping for though. I also did another test with red ink, I put about 4 drops into the wax and it mixed well, there were no air bubbles and it had the perfect transparency and colour. I had to use the test sample to try fix the final piece before I got a picture of the result.

I practice with modrock to create the sculpture of the bones, I don't think it worked well, although it does have the brittle feel like bones would, it crumbles way to easily. I don't think it's strong enough to hold its shape and not fall apart

I created a hand out of newspaper for the muscle, I think I prefer the modrock to this, I feel like it's very flimsy and although I haven't painted it yet, I think it will

I love how this turned out, I think it works well to show nerves. It is quite easy to make. The thickness of the wire was also perfect for a first try, it bent well and keeps its shape. I also like the colour of the wire as its a dark red which usual is related to the human body/blood

I will practice with more materials to create my sculptures

I painted the hand I made and now it looks quite a lot better. It has a smoother finish and doesn't look at crumbly. I think acrylic paint gives a good coverage and it is easy to work with

Your sculpture photos look interesting.  You could post up any drawings you have completed from your research too.
What are you wanting to show in your hand sculpture to make it an original piece of art?

I decided to test making a hand sculpture (muscle) using mod rock. Ill though it was easy to use, I feel like it crumbles easily and doesn't give as smooth of a finish and I wanted. I may need to use warmer water to activate the modrock so it doesn't crumble as much. I also realised as I was making it that when it comes to displaying my final outcome, I don't know how it will stand up.

I will start to practice with different materials to create my sculptures

Hi Rebecca, This research looks fantastic.  Make sure you take photos of your own drawings and development and upload them here as your work progresses

Finished brief

# data[].attributes.body
Today I will write my brief and maybe continue with some experimentation work

# data[].attributes.body
I almost finished my two artist researched, I will finish the second one for tomorrow.

# data[].attributes.body
By the end of the session I will have completed at least two artist researches.

I need to collect images
And research for my personal project, I will start by looking at some artists
