Sculpture Process

Beginning the creative and thinking process for this project was difficult. At first I was thinking about make something that had to do with discussions of survival or need. I ended up deciding to create a hand out of clay and a skeleton hand out of plaster. I started the process by working on the hand, but I was stuck and I didn't know how to proceed after retrieving my clay. I decided to go about using a YouTube tutorial which helped me tremendously. I split my clay into thirds and sculpted each to look like one part of the hand- one was the palm, one was the fingers, and one was the wrist. Once I put all of the pieces together, I began working on the details. It was hard at first, but I ended up with a relatively realistic hand due to the process becoming more comfortable and easy for me to complete.
