Gesso Mask

Today in art I gessoed my project. After Thanksgiving break, I'm going to paint it red, white and blue. I might have to add another layer of gesso before I paint. After all of these steps are completed, I am going to cut out the eyes. I haven't figured out which shape yet. Then I will have a finished product!

Second Sketchbook

For my second sketchbook, I drew my stomach after eating. My intestines are twisted up and pretty wide. It includes my intestines, filling in, and my signature and date. The page is completely covered. Enjoy.

First Sketchbook

For my first sketchbook, I had to draw a sculpture in the AHS atrium. I drew a bow and arrow and included the back wall with brick and a window. I also drew a tree and bush in it. I though that this sculpture would be cool becuase the atrium has really green grass, trees, and bushes and it completely closed off. 

Progression on mask

I have added 3 layers of paper mâché to my mask and it is starting to take the shape it is going to be. I am going to paper mâché one more time and paint it. After that I will put a peice of cloth in it for comfort and cut out the eyes, and all of the other incisions I might need. Then I will be finished. 
I just added the Glascow School of Art Sculpture and Environmental Art blog to my link list. There is tabs for all the different artists on the blog and they all have different styles. Check it out here also: http://sea-studio-blog.blogspot.com

I enjoyed Irby Pace's blog. His photographs captured the beauty of the outdoors, but with this pretty pink smoke. He used several beautiful locations such as a back road and a lake. The smoke looks awesome and really brings out the beauty from the picture. It is a cool blog.

My favorite sculpture was the crocodile eating the capitalist. It is a sculpture in Brooklyn. New York. My favorite part of it is that I understand the history behind it. In the sculpture, the crocodile is coming out of the sewer lid and eating a capitalist. The capitalist's head is a bag of money and has a dollar sign on it.
