In the fine arts survey of sculpture, there is more to experience. It is sculpting in the malleable medium of soap:

- one piece in sunken relief
- a work in raised relief, or bas relief
- a piece of simple free-standing sculpture

Three "full-size" soap bars. Highest recommendation: 3 bars of Ivory soap. Perhaps team up w classmates and buy a large pkg to be divided in class.

You may bring a sculpting stylus ( stylus (plural: styli) is a writing utensil, or a small tool for some other form of marking or shaping, for example in pottery) or use the random utensils - mostly large paper clips - that are in e205.

12 pts for soap and completion.

Following this adventure you will compose a one-page descriptive essay that compares work performed on the maquette, the body cast and soap work. 15 pts.
