In my sculpting class we were assigned to use basic shapes and make an abstract piece.
I wanted to use the sphere shape and I cut them in half and got the semi-sphere.
This shows gradation thru the spheres going from big to small and also the semi-spheres.
The line of spheres creates a visual line that wraps around all three semi-spheres
to connect the three semi-spheres.
The first thing we did was made it in clay, after that we made the mold around it.
When we were putting the mold on the spheres kept falling of from the weight of the
plaster mold and we just stuck them back on, but it made me nervous how it would turn out.
Then the clay came out of the mold fairly easy, and then I just cleaned it up. Then we poured
the hydrocal into the mold. After it hardened I chipped away all the mold, but again the
spheres were a problem because they became unattached to the semi-spheres and I had to
superglue them back at the end. There was also so air bubbles that I had to patch.
Overall this was a fun project, difficult but for a first time it turned out good.
Next I plan to paint it when I get a chance.
