Labor Intensive ~ A Day in Professor Jensen's Sculpture Studio

Well, Tuesday was a bitter sweet day for us. It was the last day of our sculpture class, and Professor Jensen had us going up until the last minute. If you are thinking about taking this class, you had better be a SERIOUS, dedicated student with a genuine love for sculpture and art.

I met some very wonderful people, a family of friends, this semester in the liberal arts annex and have formed some friendships that will forever be there. What did I realize this semester? I realized that if you are doing something that you truly love, it is worth all of the long (and I mean long) hours and days spent in this dusty studio.

I can't end this blog without a shout out to the SUPER PROFESSOR Sue Jensen. I lucked up when I landed in her class. Not only is she a hard working, multi talented artist, she honestly cares about each student -- their capabilities and their talents. So... here's to you Professor Jensen and my new found friends... WE MADE IT!

Below I have posted some photographs from my sculpture class.  I have posted some of my work at the end.  Most of the clay pieces were already taken home. We created clay, soapstone, portrait busts, and shadow boxes. I loved this class, and wanted to share a little something with you about this "place up the street."


A heads up on things...

Portrait Busts

We cleaned up our messes.

Soapstone pieces...

Professor Jensen is working tirelessly behind the scene. 
I wish I had taken a better photograph of the soapstones.  They are beautiful.

Anna's Soapstone Masterpiece.

I can't tell you how many hours she worked on this.

Shadow Boxes

Sara and Brooke by their masterpieces.  Mona, are you trying to hide?

Great job, Mona!

A little graffiti...

well... maybe a lot of graffiti.

Section of the studio for ceramics and pottery.

Pottery Wheels...

My work...

I am making something out of my "former" shadow box.  Hint -- silver leaf...
a planter for the kichen herb garden.

My soapstone...

and unfinished clay piece.  Don't be lazy, turn your head to see it.

and an art piece I made to frame above a mirror after I, you guessed it -- paint and leaf.

One of my portrait busts in progress.

Well, my precious friends, I guess you got the message.  I loved this class.  Keep in touch everybody!

See you soon,
Teresa
