First Job Ever!

For the past few months I have been looking for a job so that I can make money and go to college soon. After going to about 3 interviews I finally got hired as a cook at a local Restaurant. I will admit this first week was stressful and confusing. I had to learn how to cook everything, make all the meals, and take care of the kitchen. I got the hang of it all but I have much more to learn. There is a lot of teamwork involved in working, which it comes in handy at times. I hope to learn much more this week!

17 and On the road to success

     I was born on April 11th, 2000. I grew up going to public schools where I dealt with a lot of things. I was happy until I got into High School. The first day of 9th grade I was already getting picked on, I got bullied pretty much daily. My stress and anxiety made me physically sick. I couldn't even speak to a teacher because of my anxiety. It wasn't until 11th grade when my parents finally pulled me out of public schools and homeschool me. Even though I started to homeschool last year, my life has changed dramatically. My anxiety is pretty much gone unless I go into a situation that I'm uncomfortable with. 
     I'm graduating in four months and starting nursing school when I turn 18. If I was still in public school I wouldn't Graduate until May of 2018 and would have to wait longer to get my CNA license. I will be five months ahead of all my friends. I will graduate and be onto the next part of my life, which is my chosen career. I have my goals set high and I am so close to accomplishing them. I will keep you guys updated on how everything is going.

It's Been awhile

The last few months have been rough. I've had a death in the family, work to do, and on top of that spend time with friends in family. I am hoping to get back at this Blog thing. Stay tuned for more.
Much love!

How to sculpt with clay

1. Envision the final piece
Before you start, it is always a good idea to have a clear idea of how you want the final sculpture to turn out. Make sketches of various imagined viewpoints and projections. Consider the dimensions of the main shapes and the ratios between lengths.

2. Test for wetness
Dried clay will be difficult to work with but it is easy to test if it is wet enough before you start. Pull off a small piece of the clay you intend to use and roll it in your hand until it forms a cylinder, about 1cm in diameter and about 10cm long. Bend the cylinder double. If it bends smoothly, it should be useable; if it cracks, try adding more water.

3. Build forms cleverly
If you are working without a potter’s wheel, there are still several simple ways of building up forms. Coils of clay are a good way of building up the sides of a hollow shape – laying the clay down in a spiral prevents it collapsing easily. Recesses can also be created by pinching the clay, digging out with your thumb and forefi nger.

4. Avoid protruding shapes
You may have seen more advanced sculptors create figures with extended legs but the chances are they will have used armatures – long, metal skeleton structures that support the weight of the clay. Brass rods, aluminium wire and other stronger materials can be used, but it is often easier to practise with more contained shapes.

5. Look out for a local studio
While some art skills can be learnt through observation and practice, the more advanced aspects of clay sculpture can be tricky and need expert guidance. Look out for courses or local studios in our classifi ed section and sign up to fi nd out more, and to try your hand at firing your finished works for permanence.
