Plaster sculpture

The task was to create an abstract figure from plaster.First Paula showed us some example of abstract art to get some ideas.These images helped to inspirate me and I started to make some sketches in my notebook.Then we changed our room and try to work with clay at first.I couldn't manage to follow my sketches so I was just playing with it for a while.I lost my inspiration somehow then I made a barrel with legs and and arms coming out of it.It looked like a "human tree" ,as I turn left or right it became a figure.I liked the idea so I had to create something similar from plaster as well.Everybody got a pack of plaster and some special equipment to carve.It was quite wet so it was easy to work as well.I couldn't finish ,because the time was not enough, I had to brought home in a plastic bag.Next day I continued my work,it was a bit dryer,but still workable.I carved the leg and the butt at first then I was graving the arm when it's broken-down...unfortunately! It was wet so I couldn't stick it back.Hmm.Maybe it will look like a very abstract piece of art. :) The last step was to chisel and refine the sculpture with emery-paper,that was the hardest...
