Here are some pictures I took of the group during today's class. We have finally made all the bird heads! We did the whole plaster gauze over clay thing. After the plaster dried, we cut the heads in half and scooped the clay out. Then we used plaster to patch up. So now we have quite a few hollow heads.. and an egg ready for paper mache. We decided to make them all look similar by giving them all big noses and cheeks. After that, personal interpretation was key... and I think we all did a really good job creating expressive characters. We made separate beak attachments so that we can drill a hole in the plaster and control the mouth movement, but most of our mouths didn't fit... maybe we will have to use epoxy clay for these parts.

Thursdays class will be paper mache and body making.
