School and stuff

Mandy — Sat, 31 May 2008 02:45:15 +0000

So today I finally got to ride my bicycle to school. It was in Lake City for SO LONG! It hurt my ass though, Im going to have to get a new seat. lol.

I think i totally bombed my psych test. Oh well, that class isnt really my thing. I didnt make it to the review. I really think the rest will be easy. I was working on sculpture during the review, that is worth more to me.

Rest of the classes are boring. My sculpture class was okay, we discussed what is to come. I told him about my idea for my Movement project and he loved it, so do I. It will be amazing.

I came home today and took a nap, I had several people going to call later, but no one did so I ended up speeling.. well.. forever. LOL Oh well, it was worth it!

My ceramics class is going well, have many pieces waiting on glazing.

The roses are a new thing, I thought looked nice, Its just if they can last. The bowls are fun, the glazes look thick, but alot of it is wax and clear. I cant wait to see them finished!

Critique

So I was up working on my sculpture, oh… til about 5am.. What I did was put hose on the wire frame and painted it with many coats of starch. This made it very stiff, which would be good, but I needed more of a contour shape, sooo… I decided to use plaster. Well the water in the plaster dissolved my starch.. so I decided I would use paper mache. This worked well but wasnt drying quick enough, so.. in a stroke of brilliance (sarcasm) I figured if I put a layer of plaster over it, it would dry and soak up the water. WRONG.. wrong wrong. It NEVER dried.

So I did my Plan B (or Z) and just covered it in an old copy of “The Female Orgasm” (a scientific look at it) At 5am I just gave up. I went back at 8am and it was still VERY wet… I had to use woodglue to keep the pages from falling off. After the pages were wet and had turned colors abit, i really started to like it.

It came time for class and I had to move that heavy bitch. It sucked, but all worked out in the end! My critique went well and I loved how she looked displayed. I cant wait to actually finish her. I think she would look amazing in a gallery.

I really like it. The inside looks like fire, which helps the concept. I want to go back over her and make it a bit more smooth, also add some thicker wire. In critique someone brought up the idea of sound, which I think would be interesting to add pr0n background noise or music.

In other news, a butterfly landed on my hand today.

The Beginning

☞ Well, I have a sculpture due tomorrow at 11am. It is a project involving light. Right now its a bit in shambles but headed in a good direction. I just talked to my (wonderful) boss and she is giving me the say off (I also worked for her Sunday) to finish up. I have a shit ton of work to do on it. like… TONS. I dont even know if my plan will pan out anyway. Lets hope starch still does the same stuff it did when I was a kid. I still have to starch the damn thing and cover it in plaster, then shape the plaster. Oh my.

It looks like a big heap of poop now, lol. But I assure (at least hope so) its coming along nicely. lol.

In other news, yay for blogging! LOL first once since… 2004 maybe? oh god.

okay, so I have been more than busy this week.. Im working on a very ambitious piece called Constructive Deconstruction. I havnt had my camera with me but here is it almost finished.. I worked from 7pm last night until 7am this morning… wow.. im pooped. I had class at 8am til 1pm and Im just about to head to bed FINALLY. My feet are dying. The piece is due next tuesday, and I cannot wait to show it!

it needs a few tweeks and a new paint job..

See those little doors at the top, they are hinged and the inside has hypodermic needles attatched. The dark black you see are baggies of black paint, which will unleash when struck with the ball and cover it black. Also all of it is ment to corupt, and while you play it, you will be destroying it.

Ya, so the ball kept getting hung when I tried, I cant wait to see the finished peice all destroyed like! lol.
