Drawing & Print Project: Soap Sculpture


I was not expecting to be sculpting a whale out of a bar of soap today, but here we are! In fact, I really enjoyed it!


The texture was really nice to carve with a craft knife, however the bar of soap was quite flat so it restricted me in creating the roundness of the object I was observing. I feel as though I could have also created more depth around the features of the whale in order to make it more dramatic, but of course there was a limited amount of time to create the model. Above are the objects and materials I had to hand to create the model.


I feel as though this process really helped my understanding of the toy I was observing, by recreating it in a 3D format. The whole project has already given me a lot more thought and consideration towards how toys are made and the simple, yet well thought-out structure. Here is the finished model within the time that we had to create it, although I still think it needs improvement I am please with the chosen object and result.

This was the first university I had looked at in my last year of A-Levels to get myself thinking about where I was going next (before I decided on doing a Foundation course). I was really impressed by the open day overall - the studios were very functional and professional while the staff seemed approachable and and help...
