Assignment 1 - Ceramic Heads

Allison Edmisten

The thing I like most about this head is the incorporation of hair. The artist had several heads on her website with different styles of hair. This is a bit more stingy and not as natural looking as the others, but I think it is a great way to do it. She is also very realistic looking. I prefer the sculptures that are realistic rather than exaggerated, even though I appreciate both.

This head was quite striking to me because it is extremely realistic but also very abstract at the same time. No real person has such lines, but the features are created perfectly. I like how the lines enhance the features of the face, while changing them at the same time. It is a very interesting concept and not one that I have seen a lot in sculptures. 


Screaming Man

This head was from an artist in the UK, but it did not list the name. The thing I like most is the incorporation of real objects to enhance the clay. The artist added jewelry, and it looks like some other material for the hair. It is also very cool how the tattoo was drawn on, but the the rest of the head is vary pale and still clay colored. I love the expressions and how the artist scrunched his face into a screaming man, with the squinted eyes and furrowed brow. There are many elements that play together for this head, and make it so great and interesting to look at.
