This post is a crossover in terms of possible topic heading.
I am currently taking a hand clay class and tonight we were given instructions on making heads. The others in the class followed the instructions and guide of the teacher. I created my head, but wasn't drawn to the sample model the teacher demonstrated. Instead, my head became an alien figure.
Now, I have never produced an alien in clay before. It just kinda molded itself. The others in the class commented that the head looked like something from outer space or reminded them of a grey.
What struck me as interesting, is that I actually had fun making the figure and didn't feel any aversion to what was created. In the past, I have had grey looking head patterns appear in my abstract acrylic paintings and would paint over them because they freaked me out.
I think the those in my class thought it looked like a grey because of the eyes were protuding and had no pupils. The head also didn't have any ears. One commented that the tongue looked like a snake and nose looked like a witch. I would say both points were correct. ..hey, we are nearing Halloween.
Has any one else done any drawings of aliens??
