= = == == = = = = = = = = = = = = = **Alter Ego Pinch Pot Bottle** = My Alter Ego Pinch Pot Bottle is the shape of a tiger. My alter ego is a "Dancing Tiger", which has a meaning of being fierce and beautiful at the same time. Since tigers have a beautiful color of orange for their body and black stripes, it represents "beauty". And since they are very fierce and are feared by many animals and even humans, it also represents "fierce". So I intended to show those meanings by forming a tiger. The sculpture actually turned out the way I brainstormed it to be, and so I think I was successful in the modeling stage. The features of the sculpture really do look like a tiger, and it turned out as I brainstormed it to be. However, some parts I was not successful, like using the slip and score method. For the arms, legs, tummy and the ears, I actually used the slip and score method very well. If you look at the part where the body(egg shaped) and the other body parts meet, there are no cracks. And no cracks mean "GOOD" slip and score. But for the tail and the bottom of the legs, I do not think I was successful in using the slip and score method. By saying, the bottom of the legs I mean the extra clay I put on to make the legs balance. When I attached it to the leg, I didn't use the slip and score method well enough. You can a ctually see that I didn't use it well enough, because there are cracks on the leg as it goes down. Cracks mean "BAD" slip and score. Also for the tail, the same thing happened. I didn't use the slip and score method well enough, so there were cracks on the end of the tail. But overall, I'm satisfied with how my sculpture turned out. I like how it turned out because it really does look like a tiger, which is the biggest reason WHY I'm satisfied. And the other reasons are because the stripes on the tiger turned out to look very beautiful. Because I carved into the clay very deeply, you can see the stripes very clearly. However, if I were to change something about the sculpture, I would change the size of its body. I want to make the body more slim, because the tiger does not look fierce due to its round body. So if I could change the body, I would make it more slim to make the whole tiger look more fierce than cute.

My sculpture is a kind of singer singing on stage. The singer has a shiny outfit on with a silver coat and red pants. Actually, my original idea was to make a man model posing for the camera on stage. However as I started making the clothes, my idea changed to making a male singer. The good thing about my sculpture is that it looks like a sculpture if you see it from the front side. However if you see it from other sides, it is not really 3-D like. I tried my best to make it 3-D, I tried putting in crumpled pieces of tissue paper inside the sculpture man's clothes. However, it was a failure. The one part that is interesting is the front side, no other side.:( But if i was given a chance to make this sculpture again, I would change the body into a 3-D figure. And I wouldn't use any scotch tape, however if I did, I would stick it so that it wouldn't show.
