Body Casting
This week has been quite fun, I have started to make my final piece for out fashion art and culture project. I have decided to make a body cast using mod rock, so I get a smooth and well finished piece. I have now completed the front of the cast, and have actually decided to use a different shape for the back, so that when I take my photograph at the end, if the model is at an angle then I will actually have more of a piece to put in the picture.
I did make a practise cast the week before, just to check out what materials I thought I should use I made the first one with paper Mache, the shape came out really well but I didn’t think that it was strong enough to withstand what I wanted it to. This is when I decided to make it out of Mod Rock.
I also decorated the front of the cast with some photo’s and images and objects to see what they looked like all joined together, I liked the way that they were interlinking, but I think that the background of the cast needs to be painted black in the first place so that It gives a bolder, stronger impression.
Also this week I have really focused on my critical studies essay, I found the text we had to read quite dull, so I wasn’t really that interested in reading it. In the end I found parts of the book that I felt were relevant to my essay and picked out the mains bits from this.
The essay took me a very long time to write, and I’m not sure if I have covered enough critical analysis in the essay, but I have responded to the question in the best way that I possibly could. All I have left to do know is add in some images for support for my ideas and have a few sentences explain them. Hopefully I will be able to get this done this week, so that when I have my tutorial next Monday I will be able to get some feedback and make any improvements needed.
Also this week I want to try and finish the back part of my body cast, then I can spend the rest of the time we have decorated it and getting the photos on it just right and preparing for the final image, and sort out exactly what I want the photo to be like.
