Look at your AWESOME sculptures

Find the photo of your sculpture and write a comment about it. Next write a question about your sculpture that you want your classmates to comment on. (What could I improve on? What do you think I did the best? How would you change my sculpture to make it better?) Try to ask a "constructive" question.

Next, look at everyone's sculpture, find one you really like, or one that doesn't have at least 1 comment, and answer their question. You can comment on their craftsmanship, fulfillment of the criteria, craftsmanship and creativity too.

Welcome to our Sculpture Blog!


The intention of this blog is to get you, the students, thinking about sculpture and in particular, how YOU are doing in your sculpture class. Every week you will be asked to comment on one blog post that I start. There will be 4 main categories of posts for you to respond to: Critique, Opinion, Process, and Artists.

Critique Posts:
For a Critique post, I may post a photo of your current project and ask each of you to write a constructive comment for the artist.
I may also ask you to critique your own work.

Opinion Posts:
I may ask you to tell me your opinion of the project we are working on, (Do you like the project? Is it confusing? Is it challenging? Too challenging? How do you feel you are personally doing on the project so far? etc.)

Process Posts:
I may ask you about how you came up with your ideas for the project or to share some tips that are helping you through the project. I may also ask you about challenges that you have overcome.


Artists Posts:
I may post a photo of some random artists art work and ask you to critique it.
I may also post an artwork and ask you how it is related to the project we are working on.
Or, I may ask you to identify the Elements and Principles of art in a specific artwork and to defend your ideas.

MAINLY, this blog is a chance for you to interact and have an open conversation with your classmates and anyone else who happens upon your work and would like to comment on it. You do not have to answer in complete sentences, but make sure your comments make sense.

MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT INCLUDE YOUR LAST NAME ON YOUR POST. After you write a comment, please write your First name, last initial and your block. (Sarah D, A block)
