Shaping Clay

After two model sessions, the features of the face are starting to take shape. Clearly I need to do more work around the ocular cavities and cheek bones, but after an hour of modeling we stopped for the day.

The videos below were taken by my father while he sat for me. They show me drawing on the face with my clay knife and demonstrate how actively I have to move around the face to mark my ideas and observations. My favorite thing about working at such a large scale is the physical interaction I have with the piece. It's an activity that involves the whole body.
