Stephanie Acevedo

I chose to create my totem sculpture based on my top choice university. I will be attending Loyola university in the fall. This Project gets me excited for the future and what is to come.

My totem was inspired by the ocean, I decided to create a turtle and also a starfish. I painted it blue to represent the ocean.

Mt totem pole sculpture did not turn out the way i wanted it to. Simply because im not very creative or nor did i know how to make sure how to carve.
My carving skills are not very on point because it was really hard for me to know what i wanted to do.

The totem pole although did represent the different ideas and thoughts that other students had. Mine was just like a more native color themed. the colors were just random.

On one side its a squirrel and I chose this animal because a squirrel represents full of energy or to be prepared for what life has to throw at you in the future.

On the other side I chose an ape because it represents strength,intelligence, and keeping peace through aggression.

Miguel Angel Sanchez

this sculpture was brought to me and it caught my attention because i said oh what should i do and my friend Stephanie had her star wars shirt and i said oh R2-D2 and BB8 and then i said oh thats what i should do and i did i first i thought i give up but a star wars fan never gives up and i made it happen and i came out happy with my results.

Yahaira Dear Sculpture

For my sculpture i did a dear. I liked the idea of an animal. Once i started carving it started to look a lot like a dear so i left it that way. i chose those colors because i wanted it to stand out and be able to tell what it actually is. At first it was difficult to decide but once i knew what it was starting to look like i just continue to carve and added a little bit more details to make it more noticeable

Eye Carving/ Cynthia Renteria

The main focus on my carving was an eye with a lot of detail. I started off by drawing small detail so that I could go back later and do a thin layer of carving. After the thin layer sculpted it out a bit, I intensified the carving deeper and painting the details white so that it stood out.

Dolphin & Sea Lion

I choose to carve a dolphin and a sea lion because I had previously visited the Shed Aquarium and I enjoyed looking a them. The Shed Aquarium inpired me to carve a dolphin because I got to experience a wonderful animal. Since the sea lion also lives in the wayer, I decided to carve it. Both animals live in nature and that's something I like, nature.
