I struggled coming up with ideas for project 3. Some ideas I had was making a camera with eyes as the lens, but I was not into that. Another idea I had was making a hybrid of any object with the human brain. I came up with two ideas which are ice cream cone and the brain. "brain freeze" I did not know if that was original enough. Another brain idea is a light bulb. Out of the two, I decided to go with the brain and lightbulb. It relates to me because coming up with ideas uses the brain and when you got it, you know how to go about it.

The first thing I started doing was making the base. It was not too hard. It was nice and easy because all I had to do was roll it to a pretty good size. I had an actual lightbulb for reference.

I attached the top to the bottom and this is what it looks like. I have to even and smooth it out.

It took time but I think I am happy with the shape. Now, I just have to even the clay. It is hard though because when you touch one side, another side might get touched. I also need to make the ridges on the bottom.

I've added the bottom piece and made the edges. When I was doing this, I started thinking how am I gonna approach doing the brain? I have the base down, but my only option is to carve.

Looking good so far. Be sure to email me when you are done :)

I melted the glycerin which took a while and then poured it in a container. The container was a taller cylinder than a flatter kind.

This was my first attack at the glycerin. I used a knife to cut down the size because I made it bigger than the clay sculpture.

I’m happy I’m getting somewhere with the shape. I had to cut so much and it’s so hard to make it round and perfect.

I think the base and figure is pretty good and sturdy. Now I have to crave more and make it realistic to a brain

I used the mini sculpting tools that was in our kit. There isn’t a pattern but I think I got the idea now. I did my best with the tools I have. I wish it looked more like a brain though.
