Summary:
Following the previous weeks work, I've decided to begin working more towards a 3d medium, as I want to work more towards sculpture as I have really started enjoying sculpture after tasting it in the workshop before the Christmas break. I therefore have spent this week creating a life size sculpture of an animals head. I started by creating a 2d skull design from side profile by merging a horse and sun bear skull together. from which I made a 2d foam board silhouette cut out. this was the centre layer for a foam board cross section skull as seen in images 1-4 below. This was then wrapped in mod roc making a solid object, on top of which I then used modelling clay and plastacine to form the muscle structure of the animals head. which I then sealed inside an outer layer of mod roc, which I smoothed over spreading the plaster into a smooth layer.

Below this is the final stage of the sculpture this week as you can see this is a work in progress, roughly just below two feet long. I'm going to use this 3d head to develop the next animal for my menagerie.
