This past week, I covered the plaster with tissue paper and Mod Podge. I'm hoping this will better replicate Moran's painting style. The colors came out a lot brighter that i thought they would, and I'm realizing the shape of the lips is still rough and uneven, but I'm hoping that working on the sky and sea will help with this. I think it will cover the unevenness and, using bright colors in the sky with a darker sea, will tie it all together. I'm thinking of using more tissue paper for the bright colors of the sky, with maybe some sun rays made out of clay. I might experiment with the paper cutting sculptures we did last year and see if that technique would work for the waves in the ocean.

This week I'm working on my Reinterpretation project. I'm reinterpreting Thomas Moran's "Fiercely the red sun descending..." into a 3D sculpture. I'm planning on creating a mouth with the sun and sky spilling out of it. I've made the base of the lips with aluminum foil, scrap paper, and tape. Then I covered it in strips of plaster. Next week I'll work on sanding the plaster, and figuring out where I want to go next with my project. |
