I give every new intern a shoe. For this sculpture, I borrowed a friend's shoes. Having real 3D objects in front of you when sculpting helps in being able to see the shape. She can’t copy the real shoe exactly, as once again, this is a modern shoe, and we need a shoe from the 60s or 70’s. The artist threads real shoelace into the shoe. I think she is doing an excellent job on the shoes. By the time I have the legs done, we can fit his feet back on him and make sure it looks right, and then she can finish them up.
Students and Teachers
How have shoes changed over the years? Ask your parents if their style of shoes ever changed growing up. Ask your grandparents. Why do you think shoes have changed? What are platform shoes? What are clogs? Where did they come from?
Have you tried to sculpt your shoe? Here is an excellent video of a person sculpting a shoe in water base clay. Notice how his tools help him do what he does. Having the right tool is very important.
