Well today has become my last day working on this project. The sculpture was finally dry enough to actually sand it down. As I was taught by my art teacher Ian, I began sanding the piece with a 220 grit sand paper. Firstly, the edges were sanded down. This was the easiest part and need the least amount of work done. From there I moved the more organic looking sections of the figure. I wanted to make sure that these parts were as smooth as I could possible get them. These parts represent the molded humanistic form that I was referring to earlier. With that being said, this area was my priority. Within this smooth section was a circular recess in the stomach. This part had the worse amount of damage from my chisel. I would assume that

I did not want it to linger in the paint once I added it. To begin with my painting I took an acrylic crafters paint and watered it down. I was hoping that, even though it was dry, it hadn’t dried enough to a point where I would not be able to do a Fresco style finish on it. After watering down the plaster, which I have learned from “Fresco Painting Modern Methods & Technique” I slowly added the paint. I began painting in the middle of spots due to the water running everywhere. I did not want the paint to run into an area that was not meant to be painted. The red paint was only to be applied to the abstract …show more content…
I adjusted my design and made my concept work in a different way. I took off the arms and carved away parts of the form. Abstract design became my new art form to use in the project. However, I am not a person overly found of this art form, so I decided to combine it with an organic style as well. To complete this project I didn’t want one side abstract and one organic, so I offset it. This I feel ties in my two identities together. With my piece finally completed I find it quite fitting for what I was trying to achieve, and maybe later I will even try again to create my original design. They both speak of the issues they were base upon, just in a different
