Before sculpture, I’ve always liked to let my creativity out through my pencil and paper. I drew this piece a year ago or so. As soon as I heard that our first project is a wall relief of whatever story we wanted to share, I already knew this drawing should be it. I added a few more details to the drawing like the bloody tears in the face, the droopy liquid on the heart, and the bones inside the letter E]]> 2021-10-15 16:39:54 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1820046775 elijahballesteros https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1820051931 I showed my drawing to Mr. Stout and I figured the word it spelled out would be a problem. So he gave me the idea to mix it up and scramble up the letters to not spell the word “LOVE”, but show it instead]]> 2021-10-15 16:42:37 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1820051931 elijahballesteros https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1820062903 I decided to do a mix of high and low relief of my wall relief and wanted the smiley face to pop out from the wall, so I started it by making a half sphere ]]> 2021-10-15 16:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1820062903 elijahballesteros https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1820070892 I needed to use a small spinning platform and a ceramic dome in order to get this half sphere shaped out. And then Mr. O showed me to use how to cut the half sphere out without being crooked by propping my hand on something and then have it stay still. First I would go slow to make sure the knife tool would go around the piece of clay in a straight line and then cut into it once I confirmed it]]> 2021-10-15 16:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1820070892 elijahballesteros https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1820080884 I was trying to plan out and visualize how my piece should turn out and drew this as the result after some time to think. I had an idea where I would break the L up to pieces and spread them around on the background. That L on the bottom left was just a reference for me so I would know how to cute out each individual piece. And with the rest of the letters, I just scattered them in different order to make sure it wouldn’t spell out “LOVE”]]> 2021-10-15 16:57:19 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1820080884 elijahballesteros https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1820092156 I got into even more thinking and thought about making the L spread out liked shattered glass to add more meaning to the story about it. I put those lines on the outside to indicate where the pieces of the big L would be, but I didn’t draw straight through the shattered glass pattern so I didn’t ruin it and throw myself off. And if you see where I made the letter K dark in the middle of the L, that’s another deep meaning I intended to add to my project]]> 2021-10-15 17:04:03 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1820092156 elijahballesteros https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1820111303 I tweaked my intended heart piece from my drawing and decided that instead of doing another rounded heart with a shallow inside, I wanted to do a similar shape of butterfly wings. In order to do that, I also used the ceramic dome and spinning platform get that roundness and then cut out a heart once I got the roundness and size I wanted. Once I finished with that, I changed it up more and carved a tree in there with a curved carving tool. ]]> 2021-10-15 17:15:23 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1820111303 elijahballesteros https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1821454893 2021-10-16 22:03:09 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1821454893 elijahballesteros https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1821455930 2021-10-16 22:05:45 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1821455930 elijahballesteros https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1827952636 I chose to make this piece be a stopwatch and got the curved carving tool to trace lightly where the surface details for the stopwatch would be, like the clock lines placed on the outside. I carved out those two small holes to get finish off the stopwatch by filling it in as the two buttons used on a real stopwatch]]> 2021-10-19 17:14:43 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1827952636 elijahballesteros https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1827957046 2021-10-19 17:16:15 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1827957046 elijahballesteros https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1827963674 My next step was to work on getting those droopy effects onto my stopwatch piece to make it seem like it’s oozing and leaking out of the stopwatch itself. What I did was get roll out some clay and flatten it half the thickness of my stopwatch piece so it wouldn’t be too much. I cut out this simple piece out of the flattened clay to start out with]]> 2021-10-19 17:18:34 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1827963674 elijahballesteros https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1827964979 After I cut out the first piece of the clay, I laid it out on top of the stopwatches face so I can get the exact shape and size I wanted it to be by tracing where I had to cut off the edges]]> 2021-10-19 17:19:01 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1827964979 elijahballesteros https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1827979986 I finalized my measurements of my droopy piece and started to cut out the shape of the droopy effect. It was hard to figure out how to do it but I managed after some time. But Mr. O mentioned to me that I should flatten the end of it and make it rise to where the drops are so I can make it look more realistic as if it’s oozing out of the top of the stopwatch]]> 2021-10-19 17:24:18 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1827979986 elijahballesteros https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1827985117 I finished cutting out the droopy effect and got the idea to use the other droopy effect piece I removed from my anticipated piece to put on the bottom of the stopwatch]]> 2021-10-19 17:26:01 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1827985117 elijahballesteros https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1827996604 I next focused on putting a small foundation piece behind my heart piece so it wouldn’t have to touch the background wall. At first I made it long, from top to bottom down the middle of the heart, but then I saw that only the middle part of it would be actually connected to the heart, so I just shortened it on both sides so it can become hidden when turned around. After I slipped and scored it to finish it off]]> 2021-10-19 17:29:58 UTC https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1827996604 elijahballesteros https://padlet.com/elijahballesteros/BallesterosElijah/wish/1828004697 I wanted to make something for the letter E fr my drawing and tried to make like a skinny balloon deflated into an E.
