Q4 Project

I created a sculpture of a woman pouring paint. It is a black and white woman and the only color is from the color she is pouring on the floor. I wanted to recreate a famous photo of the well-known sculptor Lynda Benglis.  To create my sculpture, I used tinfoil, clay, acrylic paint, wood, hot glue and various clay tools. I first used the tinfoil to create a basic shape to mold the clay around. After I was able to mold my clay around the Torso I had created out of tinfoil, I then let it air-dry. I painted the platform and the clay woman in white and black paint and let it dry. Then I took plastic wrap and poured red blue and yellow paints on to it and then proceeded to swirl it around to create a pattern. This gave the illusion of poured wax on a floor. Once everything dried  I made a bucket out of clay glued the acrylic paint onto the bucket and then glued figure onto the white platform. My current work is very similar to my previous work because I created a clay sculpture in my last project too. A new technique that made my sculpture easier to create, was the tin foil method. By balling up tin foil, it made my project lighter and it caused the clay to crack a little less when dried. I am proud of this overall project because I believe it looks very nice, and it stays true to the original idea I had about it.
