Sçapŭla+Clāvïcŀe= bro, let us chill

My third project that is due tomorrow is the righ and left collar bones and shoulder blades. I think they turned out pretty well so far (they are still greenware). Luckily though neither of these both play a role in the alteration of other bones inspired by birth defects. Which brings me to my next point: I think I only want to focus on bone birth defects in my skeleton rather than also including just breaks and prosthetics. I think this will be more impactful and more interesting than a skeleton just with like a broken arm and screws in its head.

Sapula+Clavicle= yes

So far, I have sculpted my fingers hands, forearms and upper arms. This all will complete two of my three required works of art to be turned in on DEC> 17th. My third project will be a pair of collar bones and shoulder blades (right and left scapluli and clavici). In order to join ALL of my bones together, I will be poking sets of holes into every bone will the clay is still tangible. I will then join them all with black wire once it is completely done. Tomorrow in class I have to finish poking these holes and i think I am going to intentionallly break one arm (the arm that does not show signs of arthritis in its hand). Overall i am very excited about my work even though some of my next few projects (rib cage, skull, vertebrea..) will be an enormous challenge

arms?

I have finished the hands! now to finish the actual arm bones. last class I finished the LEft and Right Radii and ulnas (The two bones that make up the forearm). Tomoorrow My goal is to make both right and left humerus bones (the upper arm bones). This may take a good amount of clay so I do have to keep that in mind for the future. For my third project due before the break I am going to make both left and right shoulder blades (scapula) and collar bones (clavicle).
<----- So together it will all look like this!
