Elective 1 - Sculpture!

Today I started sculpture. We recieved our brief which was to investigate our relationship with the five senses (sight, smell, hearing, touch, taste) or our vital senses (temperature, respiration, blood pressure). Large brown sheets were layed out on the floor and each topic was brainstormed by everyone in the class. Any and all thoughts to do with the topics were written down. At this stage the area of respiration and blood pressure intrguied me. After this a second round of sheets were layed downa nd we had to write verbs or doing words to do with the topics. This helped to formulated options for sculptural processes. I then became more interested in the area of temperature as I found the verbs assoicated with that (burning, melting) more intriguing. Day one done and I'm liking sculpture so far, though I find it a little abstract, but I'm intersted to see how the project goes and what I will learn.
