Sarah May, The Perfect Object




For my object I had a cinderblock, it was relatively hard to work with due to its size. The measurements for the block were very difficult and obscure since it was many times larger then the requirements of the clay object. So it took me a while to figure out the measurements and the ratio. carving out the block was difficult only because of digging through the clay and creating the holes. However, other then making the large deep holes shaping the rest of it was easy. After I got the general shape i played around with it for a few hours smoothing it with my hand and cutting off large edges and extra clay. Getting the texture was a task was well. To get the rough texture i took different sized rocks and rolled them over the surface of the clay.
