      My final project is a soap carving of the parthenon. I chose this because it seemed not to easy but also do able. The style is greek and an actual artist is Janine Antoni. The art that is in a way like mine is called Lick and Lather and it was made in 1993-1994. She used a technique of creating something that represents a real life object from soap and choclate (SFMOMA). Though she created a bust of herself, I created the parthenon which is not a human. 

     I modified the materials also. Instead of making a huge block of soap I just used a preexisting soap bar. This was difficult becuse I was making a straight thing from a sloped object. Our technique of cutting the soap might have been different because she had cast a mold then (for the chocolate one) licked it to get better details (Art21) where as I used a knife and a small toothpick type tool. Another difference was that our size of sculpture is different. Mine is probably a couple inches long where as hers is about two feet (SFMOMA).
