Here are the gummy bears and the box after I had finished sculpting them. This is what they looked like after going through the kiln. I started putting glaze on a couple of the gummy bears at this point. This is the final piece after glazing all of the gummy bears and using acrylic paint on the box. Self Evaluation
1. Describe the craftsmanship of your sculpture. (Is it neat and well executed?) The gummy bears show good craftsmanship, and I think they turned out good. The box is a little less neat and well executed, but I still think that it looks pretty good. Overall, I would say my piece shows some pretty good craftsmanship, but it isn't perfect. 2. What was the most difficult part of this project? The most difficult part of this project was definitely trying to make a clay box. Getting the clay pieces in proportion before putting them together was hard, and then trying to score and slip the pieces together changed the shape of it some. From there I had to try to smooth it out into the closest box shape I could get. The whole process of creating the box was by far the most tedious and difficult thing I had to do for this project. 3. Did your color choices work together harmoniously? The colors worked together harmoniously, and I copied the colors of actual gummy bears as closely as I could with the glazes. The colors look good together for the actual food, so they looked nice for my sculptures. The brown on the box was the hardest color to make, but all of the colors on the box work nicely with the colors of the gummy bears. 4. Is your sculpture interesting from all views? The gummy bears are interesting to look at from all angles, and I tried to show this by having them in different directions and on different sides in my final picture. The box is only interesting looking at it from above or looking at it from the front where gummy bears can be put inside. The only side of the box that isn't just brown is the top, so that makes it the most interesting side to look at by far. 5. Describe the differences in constructing a sculpture and doing something 2D. When making a sculpture you have to keep in mind what every angle of the piece will look like. With 2D, you don't have to worry about every single side of what you're making since you can't see all of it. Also, entirely different materials are used to make 3D objects and 3D objects have a higher potential of being held by someone who is looking at a piece. 6. How did you create textures in your sculpture? Gummy bears have a smooth, glossy texture, so the glaze was very helpful to show that texture. The different types of paint that I used helped to show the different textures between the gummy bears and the box. The acrylic paint makes the box look stiffer than the gummy bears, and makes it look more realistic. 7. Does your sculpture look like the actual food? How did you accomplish this? The gummy bears look like the real thing for the most part. They are bigger than average gummy bears, but that isn't as noticeable. I couldn't make them kind of see through with the paint, so I used the glaze to give them shines and highlights that could elude to them being like normal gummy bears. The glaze was very helpful in making the gummy bears look more realistic. 8. What would you do differently if you were to do this project again? I would paint more layers of glaze on some of the gummy bears, because some of it didn't cover quite as well as I thought it would. I would also try to find a different way to do the box that would make it fit together a little better. Lastly, I would try to find a smaller brush or something else to use to do the detailing and outline on the bear and to write on the top of the box.
