Experimenting with plaster and colour and clay

Here I used shards of clay to create a cave , similar to way I created my paper cave, I placed the peices of clay on one another rather than moulding it , the result was rugid with a lot of texture which I thought was really effective.

Next I created another clay model which was then to be re created on a large scale using wire and plaster.

I made this which was to represent Diana and her nymphs on a rock in the cave.

Unfortunately I didn't photograph my process of making the plaster sculpture.

But basically I used chicken wire which I cut (whilst wearing gloves and eye protection) and molded into shape I then covered it in scrim and long drying plaster.

Onto the fun part! 

I mixed powder paint and plaster together to creat a purple , however I didn't mix it completely as I wanted to create a 'marbled' effect with it .

I then simple pored the plaster on to my sculpture.

And finished it off by splattering some more powder paint on it.

Overall I love my sculpture! I'm really happy with the way the coloured plaster came out.

Next I experiemented some more with the marble effect by poring plaster onto a peice of polystyrene. This time though j swirled it about using my gloved incased finger.

I love how this turned out , with the plaster running off the side.

A quick experiment I did with powder paint , I literally just took handfuls of each colour and layed them all up, very Jackson Pollock.

Broken peices of coloured plaster 

Here I made on slab of plaster and basically just smashed it up and added powered paint in the cracks 

This was made by putting plaster into a bowl with colour , the effect reminds me of a photo of the earth from space with the clouds and the sea , very fluid and mesmerising.

Again broken peices of plaster I stood up and placed together to created a little composition.

Here I put plaster into a polystyrene rectangle to create these brick type shapes,I then added colour plaster on top.

Experimenting with Paper

Here I have experimented using paper to create an abstract peice , the task was to make a 2D (paper) into 3D by folding it 

Firstly , for a little fun , I created this  adorable origami deer! 

Next onto the task in hand , I used paper to create these geometrical shapes. I really like the way the paper casts shadows onto its self 

For this I was thinking Actaeon's body , I think the shape looks very masculine.

The idea behind this was to creat the cave that Diana was bathing in so I tried th creat a shape that you could look into.

This was another attempt of the cave.

All my paper sculptors together , with and without flash so you can see the shadows 

A little peice I threw together with all the scraps of paper used to creat a stag head.

Next we had to add a bit more thought process and planning to our sculptures.

For mine I drew and cut out the shapes for a stag head and slotted them into place to create a a mounted head using paper. This definitely turned out better than expected.
