Sand Sculpting!

Went to Sentosa today to do a school assignment - sand sculpting. It is a very tiring experience, but nevertheless, a fun one. My group consisted of other 3 members - Huiling, Kai Wing and Johanna, and the thing we sculpted was a fruits basket.... Kind of regret it halfway... when passer-bys come over to take a peek at our works, some told us 'good luck, it's tough'.... oh man... But anyways, dig sand, throw sand, mould sand, weeeee, it's a sunny day despite the rainy season.

our sculpture while we are building the foundation... (didn't take much pics there)

Johanna and Kai Wing trying to toughed the sand mound by pressing it down slowly with water. Really tiring part, but very important..

Huiling damping the sand. The weather was really getting real hot towards the afternoon (we started at around 9am), and the sand was starting to dry up fast.

The unfinished fruits basket. We had to wrap things up, cos the sun was going down.

Kai Wing's bananas! Lol, sounded very wrong when we called it that, but it was he who did the bananas and it came out the most attractive thing on the sculpture.

Grapes that I did. Had a tough time with this one (expected...) and was among the last stuff that we sculpted.

Felt really sad that we couldn't finish it, but on the other hand, we wanna rest too. Hungry and tired....

Took a peak at the other works around and was really stunned by the quality of some works:



Beryl, Siew Khim, Kenneth and Cong Chong's dragon. It looked like a lizard at first, and many passerbys kept saying it was a lizard, until the refinements were done. If only they have time to do the scales of the dragon, it would look pretty impressive.

Shawn, Xing Ni, Yin Hwee n Guang Hui's Mermaid sculpture. Interesting idea, but they were struggling to get the sculpture out... Kept seeing Xing Ni lying down on the sand just to get a view of the posture of the legs.

This was done by a group from Group 5. I really liked this one, cos th ecomposition was really cool, interesting. Didn't get it at first when I was approaching it, but when I'm near the sculpture, it was a Kraken devouring a ship. Really nice detailing on the sea waves and octopusy.



Another impressive work from Group 5, a giant tortise with baby tortises behind! The details on the shells really makes it stand out.

There are some more sculptures, but didn't wanna stay for too long. The toilet was gonna be bustling with people and I just wanna go home after a tiring day... Ah well, brought back some sand home as well as a pretty dark tan.... XD
