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.

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...
