Today's Class- Tonight was Day 2 of the book project. Everyone continued on those, and the books were finished, critiqued, graded, and returned. It was also the due date for the cast off manufactured materials project, or what I often call the plastic project, so we had a critique of those.
There was a balloon animal dog sitting on the table when I arrived, and while that might technically qualify, tonight's students easily topped that.
How to make this up- Everyone was there and completed the book graded project.
Homework- Nothing new, as everyone seems to be caught up, so enjoy the rest. Two more major projects to go starting next week.
For next class 4/12/17- Our next project is a scaled down figure installation style project. Each student will create a small model in clay, based on a photo of a person. That clay piece will function as a prototype for a plaster figural piece, carved from blocks we cast earlier in the semester. The plaster figure will form the subject of the installation piece- a sculpture in which the environment that surrounds the featured piece is just as much the sculpture as the plaster piece.
Above and below are examples of this same project from a previous semester. The plaster is carved using tools that will be in the classroom, and you have the option of using anything you want to create the rest of the piece's environment.
You will have two weeks in class to work on this project, plus additional time at home if needed. Bring sketchbook and pencil to work out ideas, with additional materials probably not needed until the following week.
