Hello everyone! I am back from my first day in Academy. I was modeling a human mask for 5 hours. It was tough but I made it! And in the image below you may see my result! Mine is to the left. This is a mask of the Roman emperor Augustus. It is made of clay. The left mask looks bigger because darker objects always look bigger than white objects. Tomorrow will be the last day of the modeling exam. I will have again 5 hours to finish this mask. And I think I am quite finished. It is great to take a photo of your work and then study at home what else should be done. I know that the right eye is smaller than it should be. I will make it bigger tomorrow. And I will be working on his hair. The last thing will be making the clay smooth so that the mask looks finished.
Tomorrow I will post the final image of this mask. But it is only a beginning of the entrance examinations. I will have two tasks in composition and the last one exam will be a drawing of a human head. (I hope it won’t be Michelangelo “David”)
