Term 2 @ Art Center Part 2 (Continued..)

Here's some work I did in my other classes.
There are from my materials class, which I took with Catherine and Yoko:

This was the first project we did, exploration of shapes using plaster. Was made using the band-saw and then smoothed out with tools.

This project was our bronze sculpture, and we could have made anything we wanted to cast into bronze from the Foundry. So I decided to break into some old Plasticine clay and work up those rusty Gnomon skills. The original concept was some kind of demonic creature bust. The final turned out pretty bad compared to these original sculpts, why I made my decision with the final piece? I don't know.. and I guess I never will.










Here's A Spoon crafted from a band-saw + wood carving tools.

Very sexy I know.

Here's the final Bronze Cast. I removed the eyes from the sculpture and the mouth. It didn't turn out very well.


















Saw that gun earlier? That was part of my final project, That gun/prop thing was made purely from wood and paint. The End result? Let me Show you.

Not sure if she would want this photo online, so I tinted
out the face.

These next couple pieces were from my Design 2 class with Bruce Claypool. Note that term 2 was the only time where I had ever experimented with any type of materials or even fine art concepts. It was pretty fun and fascinating. I've certainly come to appreciate certain aspects of fine art and just craftsmanship in general. It is a very difficult thing to achieve.

This piece was for my final. It was an exploration of the concept of "Emphasis by Hue." Do you get it? If not its okay :\. So this piece took me a while and the craftsmanship was not to the level that I wanted it (the plastic got scratched up on the car ride). But the piece plays with depth and color, that's all I can say. It is made from multiple layers of clear acrylic, and the colors were spray painted and mounted using Weld-On 16. Oh by the way, don't ever go to Plastic Depot, they will charge you 80 bucks for literally 2 ounces of plastic (got ripped off).

In the middle of the night...

Literally hours before class started

All of my pieces that I did for the class Design 2 with Bruce Claypool.

This was the gist of the work that I did in the previous term. I left out a lot of pieces just due to my personal convenience of having to photograph them or stay up even later to post them up. I will eventually get to my 3rd term work, perhaps during the long break that I will be having. Until then.

Goodbye my friends.
