Today in artifact with miss Pinnington we started to make our shoe. At the beginning of the lesson we looked at a few different shoe designers, which gave us ideas for our shoes and miss told us all the different materials we could use to make our shoe. We could use paper, cardboard, modroc, paper mache and material. I choose modroc. I had to first cover the shoe mold in clingfilm and then I covered it in modroc. I found it quite easy to do but it was very messy. I managed to cover the parts of the mold I needed to cover in one layer of modroc. Next lesson I will add another layer of modroc to make it thicker and more sturdier and then once its dry I will add any more parts of modroc I need to on the shoe mold. I am also going to make a heel for the shoe out of clay and then cover it in beads or jewels. So far in artifact I think I am doing well and have done the work to the best I can. I think I might have missed some of the work out of our works books but i am not sure because miss Pinnington hasn't marked my book yet.
