Irish Ceramacist Christy Keeney
One of Christy's heads.
Hmmm... i did enjoy this project alot, although now, looking around at everyone elses pieces i'm a bit bummed out at how mine has turned out. I guess i wasn't really aware of how broad the project could be. I took it too literally and wasn't really able to experiment and explore how abstract and unique the project could be.
Yes, i will admit i did a pretty accurate SURFACE representation of a late 50's male human head, but the way in which Christy taught us how to construct the head added some extra frustration considering the awkward shape my head then had.
However, painting it was fun and i'm pleased with the result, but if i could do it over again i think i'd look at and take on the project a whole lot differently.
I was happy with the end piece and i think the painting i did really helped bring out the realistic qualities of the whole thing.
