week 3

Today we have continued the mask project. The first step was the decantation of clay with gypsum. After drying we had to dig the gypsum from the mask. Then washout succeeded, it followed a soup cream and toilet paper with a special kind of glue. Now the mask is drying on the radiator in the sculpting room.

week 2

We had to bring a sketch about a mask what we going to make in the forthcoming weeks. I had chosen a traditional Japanese mask /which is similar to me by Adam :)/. We carved it to clay, so the first step is ready. It will be continued on the next lesson.

week 1

I was very curious about sculpture lesson, because I really appreciate it. I suppose it will be a big and new challenge for me, because I used to draw, but sculpting is a different thing. On the first lesson we got an intro about sculpting history then we did a little cast of gypsum. We pushed different forms into it, for instance I used my bracelet, key, comb. It was a good starting point on the way to huge marble statues. :)
