These are the final pics of my plaster figure after having spent the whole class today smoothening it. I've only left the hair pair rough so it sticks out from the rest and is not mistaken for a part of her breast.
I've decided to leave it white because I think this makes it look more pure. Actually we've been wondering (that much for group work..) wether she's dancing or crying, but I've decided it's a crying figure and to leave it white makes it look more sad.
What I'm a bit dissatisfied with is that I couldn't smoothen all the corners and inaccessible parts, but especially the part between her hair and shoulder is very hard to reach. Furthermore the figure is not completely stable, if you tap it, it starts to teeter...
What I do like about it, is the many shades it has because of the arms over the head and that exactly over the part where the eyes are (not that it really has sculpted eyes), falls a shadow - although that is a mere coincidence. Oh yes, and I think it's kinda expressive.
So considering how much I disliked carving plaster to start with, I'm proud that I managed to get it done.
Project 3
I hardly had time to start the wire sculpture. I've done that before in highschool and I remember that it took me quite a while to develop and build something nice. So, I think we really have too few time, especially considering that we can hardly work on it at home (no material, no tools). Anyway about this tools business, I agree with Evi that it really can't be true that IBS doesn't provide enough tools for everyone. After all that's what we pay so much more money for than the other IBS students, right?
Anyway, I hope I'll somehow get it done next class.
