In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Roll out an oval and smooth the clay. The smoother you can make your clay in the beginning, the easier it will be to form your face. Depending on the size of your sculpture, it may be difficult to roll out a ball. If you're making a small sculpture, it shouldn't be a problem. However, if you're making a larger sculpture, you may need to sculpt out a neck as well. Keep in mind the proportions of your subject as you form the oval. You'll be adding clay to make the other facial features, but the oval should resemble the basic shape of your subject's head. An alternate method to making the basic shape of a face is to create a silhouette based on your subject's profile. Print out a profile photo of your subject. Make sure the photo is the size you want your sculpture to be. Roll out some clay about as wide as you'd like the nose on your sculpture to be. Lay it flat on a clean surface. Make sure you have enough clay make a full profile. Take the profile cut out and lay it on your slab of clay. Trace the profile onto the clay and cut away any excess clay. This should leave you with a slab of clay that is a silhouette of your subject. Start adding some clay to thicken the neck so you can stand your sculpture up as you add width to form the face. Using a needle or a rubber-tipped tool, draw a fine vertical line down the middle of the face. This is your line of symmetry. Draw a horizontal line halfway down your line of symmetry to mark where the eyes will be. Halfway between the eye-line and the bottom of the face, make a second horizontal line. This is where you will place the nose. Make one last line halfway between the nose-line and the bottom of the face to mark where the mouth will go.
Summary: Form a ball. Try making a clay silhouette. Add guidelines to mark out proportions.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Depending on the size of the room, this might be hard or easier to do. It will be easier to introduce dead space into a larger room than it will be to do so into a smaller room. Fewer things mean more space. Add mirrors. Mirrors can create the illusion of space and make the room feel larger than it is. A horizontally-oriented mirror over the bed is a good option. Look carefully at the layout of your motel room to decide what is crucial and what is not. Don't introduce lots of chairs, tables, floor lamps, potted plants, or other things that take up space. Keep counters and dresser tops clean of excess objects like placards or small statues. Remove things that are hard to clean or could be easily broken. For instance, do not include breakable glass statues or candles that could spill wax on the carpet. Use furniture with rounded corners -- a rounded corner is more difficult to dent than a sharp corner. Remove objects that attract visible dust like study lamps and instead use wall-mounted lighting. Diagonal views of a room help make the space seem larger. Instead of placing the door in the center of one wall of the room, for instance, place it in the corner of a wall. Try to expand the visible angle of the room from the doorway. For instance, if the bathroom is right next to the entrance to the room, cut the corner that is closest to the center of the room from the bathroom's layout (turning it into a five-sided bathroom). This is important because people often ask to see a room before they choose to rent one. First impressions are important, and giving the room a spacious feel can encourage potential customers to stay. Bright lime, orange, and yellow will give the room a fresh, vibrant energy. Warm colors will inspire enthusiasm and optimism in the guest. Cooler -- but still vibrant -- colors like blue and green can also energize guests and impart a sense of safety and comfort. Use one dominant color and white highlights to maintain a clean, minimalistic design. Despite the temptation to simplify the color selection process, do not paint all your rooms the same color. This way, if a potential guest doesn't like the color of his or her room, you can offer another. Do not leave any concrete or brick exposed in the hotel room. Vinyl floors feel that resemble hardwood appear more residential to guests, and are easier to clean. Plus, many people believe that carpets are not clean. Choose a light-colored wood to prevent your room from feeling small and cramped. Without carpets, the modern motel room will be even more susceptible to sound leaking out than normal. While total soundproofing is almost impossible, using soundproofing materials can reduce the amount of unintentional eavesdropping guests will have to do during their stay.
Summary: Make the room feel spacious. Minimize maintenance. Encourage diagonal views. Choose vibrant colors. Use vinyl floors. Put soundproofing materials in the walls and beneath the floor.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: To make a large living room more livable and less intimidating, create two or more distinct sections. Backless or low-backed sofas, especially L-shaped ones, are excellent for dividing a room without blocking line of sight or creating odd, tall distractions in the center of the space. Dividing a large rectangular space into two squares often improves its appearance, as square spaces are almost always more appealing to the eye. You can use one or more sections for other purposes as though they weren't part of your living room, although the overall color scheme should match. An extra large ottoman is better than a coffee table for making a large space between couches or chairs feel cozy. A small couch will feel out of place in a large room, so replace a larger one or buy a second matching one and angle them slightly toward each other to form one side of your furniture arrangement. If all your paintings or wall hangings are small, place them in groups to make a large, pleasing arrangement that fills visual space. Tapestries tend to be larger and cheaper than paintings. An indoor potted plant you're willing to care for can add color and visual interest where there used to be empty space. Decorative figurines, sculptures, or ceramics draw attention to a smaller scale. Don't clutter the table so much it becomes unusable, however; one to four pieces on each one is sufficient. If you're interested in a complete redesign, using rich colors, wainscoting, or multiple colors to make the space less bare. Drawing attention to the walls makes your guests feel encompassed by the space in an intimate environment.
Summary:
Use large, low furnishings to divide the room. If your room is too small to divide comfortably, fill space with oversize furniture. Use large wall art or multiple smaller pieces. Add tall house plants to fill corners and bare areas. Place accessories on tables. Paint or decorate the walls and ceiling.
