Advanced Sculpture Workshop part 1
Summary:
This week was the first of a three week advanced sculpture workshop. The focus of which was looking at working with plastic, this week we met at the 3d workshop, in which a large plastic sheet had been layered out across the floor and the workbenches in the room. We all then began to alter the sheet as we saw fit some people rolled themselves up, others cut sheets off. We were given the task to use provided materials and parts of the blue sheet to create sculptures to either represent our own themes or link back to the sculpture workshop before Christmas and create a sculpture to relate to the theme of prosthetic. Therefore I started by considering creating a shirt of some sort which links both the arms preventing the use of the wearers arm. However as I started making it, I started creating a thick rope like form to join the arm, which looked serpentine in my opinion therefore I changed my original concept and decided to work towards my own theme of forms by creating a serpent like form. Having created the new form above I've decided to create another sculpture which relates to my animal menagerie project by making another mod roc head attached to a chicken wire form sealed within a large plastic sheet based body.
This week was the first of a three week advanced sculpture workshop. The focus of which was looking at working with plastic, this week we met at the 3d workshop, in which a large plastic sheet had been layered out across the floor and the workbenches in the room, the sheet was roughly 25 x 6 metres. We all then began to alter the sheet as we saw fit some people rolled themselves up, others cut sheets off, this is documented in images 1-11. Image 12, this shows the materials that were provided by the tutors, we were given the task to use these and parts of the blue sheet to create sculptures to either represent our own themes or link back to the sculpture workshop before Christmas and create a sculpture to relate to the theme of prosthetic. Therefore I started by considering creating a shirt of some sort which links both the arms preventing the use of the wearers arm, a sort of straight jacket. However as I started making it, I started creating a thick rope like form to join the arm, which looked serpentine in my opinion therefore I changed my original concept and decided to work towards my own theme of forms by creating a serpent like form, as documented in images 13-27.

Below after having created the new form above I've decided to create another sculpture which relates to my animal menagerie project by making another mod roc head attached to a chicken wire form sealed within a large plastic sheet based body. Below these are scans of my sketchbook showing potential ideas for my sculpture.
Furthermore in this workshop we were given the task of creative writing basically we had to spend about 10 minutes writing at random the creative thoughts that came to me as I thought of my practice. However I didn't find this helpful at all I ended up writing at random and literally I didn't draw any inspiration from it.
Below in this week I have also continued working on the painting for the 10 rules paintings this one being the two styles in one painting. Therefore I finished the detailed painting of the human beast skull, which I then painted on top of using a more expressive style.

Below I have made an outcome in response to rule 9-A painting made with pressure. To stick to my theme of form, I took an A3 board, gave it a simple acrylic cream coloured wash before crushing the board into a 3D canvas. I then dripped watered down acrylic paint over the board I then flattened it out again to transport it however I prefer the finished version when its crushed into the new form.

Below I have made a painting of one of the animals from my menagerie using coffee stains. I tried to make the painting looking like a prehistoric painting. To stick to the rustic theme I've ripped up the edges before staining them in coffee.
