This is my first semester as an art major. I have literally never taken any art classes until a couple months ago. But, I did do art as a hobby, and both of my parents and my sister are artists. (My brother's the black sheep in the family. He's a linguist, and he is fluent in Spanish, and currently learning Portuguese, Chinese, and German. He likes to say that it's language arts so that he doesn't feel left out.)

Anyway, I've been doing really well in my classes, all things considered. There’s some art critic guy who’s coming to my school, he's from like the Nation Association of Art Schools (or something like that, I don't really know!) They put out a bunch of extra displays in the art building and my 3D Design professor chose one of my sculptures to go on display for him to critique! It was the only one chosen from my class! Eep!

Here are some photos of my sculpture on display! It was carved out of a block of plaster and took me a couple weeks. You can't really see in any of these pictures, but it goes in a sort of spiral (the main shape was inspired by a ram's horn), and that was really difficult, but also a fun challenge! I actually haven't gotten my grade back for this assignment, but I'm assuming I did pretty well if my professor thought it was good enough to put on display!
