Core Competency 12 Reflection Ceramics

Critical and Reflective Thinking

This is snowy. Snowy from the adventures of Tintin. He is a faithful companion of Tintin and a sidekick.
He is a wire fox terrier and has white fur, he was one of the cutest and cuddly animal in the series and I want to make a sculpture out of him. When I start making snowy, it was quite hard to make. I had to make the proportions exactly like him just like I made my reference on my sheet of paper. Molding his body was quite hard to make especially his head it was bigger. I had to make his head smaller and accurate just like he looks like and scrap off some extra clay off from him. After fixing his head, I molded the ears and sliced into edges, then I carefully put it on the top of his head. Next I do the face which it was a simple design and stick it there, then I mold the rest of his body and now its done. Now on to the next step, I cut the boxes and paint the ovals yellow and stick with hot glue gun together, and then I use another cardboard box to paint the rest of the background black. I glaze my sculpture and wait for the few days to be dry. Finally I put him at the background and use my flashlight at them to add a shadow.
