Ceramics- Portrait

For this project we will choose a public figure to create a 3D portrait of.  Begin by finding AT LEAST 2 photo references of your subject from two different points of view.  These photo references need to be available on your charged chrome book at all times.  Begin the process the same way as always by doing a sketch of your subject on blank paper.  Develop this drawing to as finished a state as possible as it will help familirize you with their features.  

When you are ready to begin building roll out a slab that is approximately a quarter inch thick and place it in the mold that will be out on the counter.  This will give you a basic base to work on and begin building and sculpting the specific features to represent your subject.

We will follow the standard documentation process while creating this piece but we will only be making one as opposed to three so focus as much effort as possible on this work and employ what you have learned to create a strong likeness.
This piece does not need to be glazed unless you have time.
