Reflection on finished shoe sculpture



While working on my shoe I was having a really hard time because I wanted it to look perfect. I soon learned that there was no perfect, and that working with cardboard was quite hard. In teh begininning stages when all the pieces were being glued together it wasn't looking so great, but then I decided to cover it with white paper mache. This helped the over all appearence of the shoe come together, and look like on peice instead of many pieces.

One of the project objectives was to understand relative proportion, which I think I achieved. The shoe was accurately sized, and I included the important detail which distinguish it. Another objective which i believe i achieved was the texture and color, with the materials allowed, the colors and textures where resonably accurate.

Although I encountered some frustration, I am happy with the final product because I did the best I could, and if I were to re-visit a project of this type, I know there are things I would do differently.

Gabby's final product of her shoe looks great. I feel she made the shoe as realistic as possible and the shoe speaks for itself. She cover the shoe with its respected colors blue and white. The shape of the shoe looks pretty detail and well structure out. I think that the most important detail and aspect of the shoe is the shape and how is pretty detail. I feel that she made the adjustments as she was working to get the shape of the shoe. Im not really sure it would need anything else because the final product looks great as said before
