More Sculpture Techniques

These are all plaster casts.  The first one I covered in wine (lol so funny), the second I made a cavity by putting clay into my rubber mold before pouring the plaster so that it would result in a negative space, the third has a gold crown, and the fourth has a filling.  And yes, the filling is glittery.
More teeth, no way!...left to right: chocolate cast, a tooth with a brace, coffee stained tooth, wax, design cast, and in the front is cement.  

My professor runs a bronze factory in Boston and told us we could make a small object in wax for him to cast in bronze.  Obviously, I made a Corby.

Final Drawing Concepts Project: Week 1

We were asked to pick an idea to work from for the rest of the year.  I am working with the idea of irrational paranoia as well as a general anxiety and/or fear of death.  We had to draw for at least 6 hours last week, whether this time was put into one drawing or multiple drawings.  This upcoming week we will continue working with our chosen theme, and have been asked to bring back 9 hours of drawings.  Ideally each drawing works off of the previous drawing/drawings.

Studio

1)-3) This is a torso I worked on for a couple weeks but my professor, Batu, wants me to start over.  I took a few pictures before I destroyed it.

4)-5) Dome-like-structures I made out of cut up record covers.  I'll be making many more of these before I decide what I would like to do with them.

6) Running buckets!  This is just a maquette (small sculpture study) of an idea that is going to become much bigger/much more interesting.

Contemporary Issues

1) Obstruction assignment:  This is my re-make of Maxine's sculpture. 

2) Original comic strip.

Drawing Concepts

1) We had to choose a painting with 2+ figures from a list of painters that our teacher gave us.  I picked The Crucifixion of St. Peter by Caravaggio.  We then had to abstract it with white and black collage.  I loved this assignment but I still want to work on mine a bit more.

2)-4) Some different details of my abstraction

5) Painting done from a collage I did.  My teacher stole mine or else I would have photographed it and posted it.

6)-8) Out of class assignment : night studies

9)-18)  In class works.  Some of these were done by collage and some are just straight up acrylic paint.
