Wk-11 Sculpture: Plaster

This activity I had the experience to work with plaster for the first time. I enjoyed this activity very much, because I am a beach fanatic myself. The process was pretty smooth given the fact that I have never used it before, but because of the detailed directions and or video, it was pretty straight forward and fun to perform.

Although my foot didn’t come out perfectly and had a few cracks, it stayed together for the most part. The process of working with plaster, water, my foot, and making it into a sculpture, was enjoyable to do. I actually accomplished it on my first attempt, unlike Venice beach tagging on the walls. Even though for the previous activity I had done tagging twice it turned out good, this one on the other hand, I had done in one try and I was pretty content with the outcome.

I was pretty amazed to what plaster can do, and I was curious for what more it could be used for. I found out that plaster is used for many things, for example walls and  ceilings, which are the usual. Also a lot of sculptures, whether it would be a foot like I did, or a face and hands. It surprised me with all that you can do with plaster, and I think I would use it once again.
