Michelangelo- Standing in the Shoes of the Renaissance Masters
I couldn't decide what kind of object to make at first, so I tried to make a perfect sphere. I used a piece of soap that I found that almost looked like marble and it had a unique texture. I spent most most of my time filing it down, and I added a hole in one side and a line down the middle to add some character. I could see how hard it would be to do this with granite, and you would have to be extra careful and really have an image of what you wanted in your head. If you made a mistake or decided you wanted something different, you would either have to improvise or start over.
