I finally finished three stone sculptures! I am super proud that I have finishe three sculptures in 5 or 6 weeks when this was my first time doing it. Today I am making a blogpost about my ratings throughout the stone carving sessions. In those sessions I have accomplished some goals that I have set, Well I could'nt really say set myself because Mr Mitchell showed us how to do everything. No you must be wondering what were those goals that I have accomplished, if you don't care about it I will still share them with you. One of them is knowing how to curve the edges It was fun but I was so confused at the start until Mr Mitchell and Mr Palmer showed us how to do it. I was asking myself so many questions like how can this block of stone into a Koru I was not sure with the teachers instructions but I just trusted the ta hers and he process. I also learnt what the names of different tools are like a cheese grater, Chisel, rasp, mallet and much more.
My favourite part throughout all the stone carving session were obviously the hands on things like carving the stone itself or learning new thing about stone carving. but I actually liked it equally with researching it was easy since we only had to research about basic things. Also one researching session we got to use paint and create things also using modelling clay and fabric. The first time we did researching we just had to do some drawings or find some more maori designs.
The things that were challenging were trying to understand that process and staying positive if I broke my stone.
If I needed to improve I would rather learn more about carving and before Inwould do it again so I have more experience.
My final comments for this time of passion project is that I was amazing and so fun I would define try try it again and I recommend you try it to.
Hi Rieya! It sounds like you had such a positive experience with your first Passion Project. I am so happy to hear this. You wrote a really great blog post sharing your ideas and your final thoughts about stonecarving. Well done, and great job being so focussed to get this final blog post finished.

Great Job! HI Rieya, this is a nice post, you have explained what your doing really well. I especially liked the part when you said "My favourite part throughout all the stone carving session were obviously the hands on things like carving the stone itself or learning new thing about stone carving." Because it tell me that you actually liked to learn and that you listened to what the teachers were saying. Next time try to add some pictures. Anyways keep up the great work!
