Life sculpture in the garden




























The top sculpture is of, yes, a naked guy. In the life sculpture class, we had live models who took off their clothes. He is done in 1/5 size which means the entire sculpture is about 11 by 8 inches.
The bottom sculpture is the torso of a young woman. I asked the instructor if it was okay to do only the torso instead of the entire body. It was just too much for the limited period of time we had in class.
There are sculptures of a hand and foot. Those are scultpures of the hand and foot of other students in the class.

The sculpture of the head is the concrete version of the clay version in another post. The hand near the head is a concrete casting of my own hand made from an alginate mold. I hope to make a knee also sometime this summer. Then, I hope to place the three sculptures amongst the little white flowers to look like she is taking a bubble bath. I'll post that if I get it finished.

There is an abstract with a shoulder and a hand. Our instructor asked us to combine two body parts.
All of the sculptures are made of concrete. I really enjoyed working with concrete and as you will see I just love being able to put these sculptures in the garden.

Hi Lynda,

You did such an awesome job on these sculptures. You did even better this semester in the class! Sorry that I had to drop the class - I just took on too much this semester.

Anyway, I have the photos of your clay version of the torso on my computer now. Please email me at jaime @ jaimelyerly.com and I will send them to you.

Take care!
