The assignment was to make a paper person sculpture that is free standing, which means it must be stand on it's own. My original idea was to build this huge man, and with a soccer ball, but I the big papers won't stand, so I had to shrink my sculpture. I think I didn't do really successful job on making sculpture interesting all sides because it was so hard to make all part of sculpture 3D and both make it interesting. I would change the whole think by making it more decorative and detailed. To tell the truth, compare to others, my sculpture is lack of decoration and detail.

__Alter Ego Pinch Pot Bottle__ I picked the form because I like soccer, and I wanted the angry wild lion to be my alter ego. So I decided to put lion hold a soccer ball on his feet, and wear a Manchester United uniform. I think I was successful on making the outline of the pinch pot. For example, before I add any details, I made a body, a face, and a feet pretty easily. But when it comes to adding details on the sculpture, and softening the sculpture was a bit hard. I think I wasn't that successful on slip and score because I had to do it few times on same part for 5 times because I didn't score enough. Sometimes, I had a few problems because I didn't put enough slip so the parts won't stick that well. Yes, I am quite pleased of my sculpture. Before I started modeling my sculpture, I was suspicious if I would ever make this pinch pot, with animal head, arms, feet on it, soccer ball on foot, and stand by itself. But I succeeded, so I am very proud of myself. If I want to change my sculpture, I want to make the head little bit bigger, body little bit smaller, and put more details. I also would want to look my sculpture clean by softening as much as I can.
