The Soap Carving Assignment

                                                         


                                                            Soap Sculptures 
                                                         Title: My Little Pony
                                                         Medium to large soap.
                                                 
                                                  For the soap sculptures I picked a horse. This was a challenging and fun project, that encouraged students to come up with strategies when carving. Though I realized later on what techniques could help more so if I did this process over again, I feel that one can see this realization with the second horse I worked on. The first horse took much longer than the second one. This was because this process was new to me.

                                                          Title: Hair's What We Do A Natural History Of The Senses- Hair "Lice have a hard time attaching to thick hair, which is why black school children don't succumb to epidemics of head lice as often as their white classmates"(86-87 Diane Ackerman). The purpose of taking pictures of various individuals and focusing on their hair, ethnicity and personality, is so one can establish the fact that individuals are different and they are defined by different cultures, but they can be similar. For humans can identify with certain groups and cultures. However, some things are universal. Human suffering and human empathy is universal. Love is a universal concept that never changes, no matter what generation gap there is or how different people may be from one another. We all have the same want...

Memento

                                    Title: The Perks of Being a Diamond In The Rough                                         Materials: wood and Paint(black and white)                                                               My memento piece is about learning disabilities. My mother was a third grade special education teacher. My memory for the memento is when I was growing up I would get annoyed when I would hear students make fun of those who had speech impediments. I did not see the humor in that. Some individuals stereotype learning disabilities by associating them as the same thing as having down syndrome, being in a wheel chair, or h...
