The Ceramics & Sculpture students at South Kamloops have been busy completing work for the end of the school year! Clay heads, shown above here, were finished in a variety of ways including: glaze, spray paint and acrylic paint. Each face is intended to portray a sound - a chanting whistle, snoring, anger & pain and a friendly kiss!

Picturing Sound
Ceramics students at SKSS are working with clay to create 3D heads! They also have the difficult task of representing a metaphor of a sound.
Inspired by the work of Franz Xaver Messerschmidt (1736 – 1783) a German-Austrian sculptor most famous for his busts of faces contorted in extreme facial expressions.He was a gifted sculptor in Vienna when Mozart composing. Then his mind went began to go, he continued to sculpt. He would pinch himself to make his face contort and then sculpt it.
Here are the students at work in class. We are excited to see the outcome of this project!
