When Introducing a Coil Pot Project

 

Figurative Art Casting with Packing Tape - Student Collaborative Project

 

Below is some of the images of one of the figures that the students made. It is eerie  like a Segal or Gorley. The school decided to put a scarf on it so it is less "creepy." Unfortunately, the weight of the scarf is distorting the sculpture a little, but what can you do.

Some Student work 

Scrimshaw is scrollwork, engravings, and carvings done in bone or ivory. Typically it refers to the artwork created by whalers, engraved on the byproducts of whales, such as bones or cartilage. It is most commonly made out of the bones and teeth of sperm whales, the baleen of other whales, and the tusks of walruses.
