PLASTER PALS!?!?!?!?!?!?!!?!?

Basically, Plaster Pals are the safest, easiest, and most crowd-pleasing plaster creation that we can make. Plaster hands would be just as "unuseful" (it's art, it doesn't have to be useful!) and since it's more time consuming and unfamiliar, we could come out with a less-than-favorable product to present. With Plaster Pals, we could make as many as we wanted until the ones which were perfect were ready to be presented. Also, plaster casts and masks are dangerous to make (i.e. plaster casts, if too tight, can store fat globules, which when released, can travel to the heart and stop it; plaster masks can BURN YOUR FACE OFF...) Considering our inexperience with plaster, it's best that we stick to something easy that we can really perfect.

Sketch + Sculpture

My sketch looks pretty similar to my sculpture. The lines in both are very precise. A main difference is that my sculpture has color, whereas my sketch is in black and white. Also, the sculpture is actually a better representation of the actual sculpture, as it gives depth which a sketch cannot. The sketch is also much thinner.

In addition, there are a few small details with which I took artistic liberties. Slices in the cardboard make for non-sharp angles, a feature which, in my opinion, adds character to the sculpture. The skis are more separated in the sculpture, as it is a replica of the original. I also left out a plaque as the bottom, which is too small to read. Overall, I think that the sketch was not necessarily helpful in my creation of the sculpture, as I looked at it, maybe, once before making it.
