I hear Rag Week calling....

And so sculpture has come to an end.  During those 2 weeks i've learned that I am not 3D orientated at all and that food poisoning has to be the worst sickness ever.  I had it at the start of this week and it meant i missed a day plus chances to do work....so not a great week to say the least!

I focused a lot on the melting of different materials this week.  Actually really enjoyed this side of things....the child in me came out when I got my hands on the hot gun! Loved melting crap!  I felt like Phoebe's brother Frank in Friends who tried to melt her phone....i was looking everywhere to see what i could melt next!

Melted sculpture made from UNREAL bubble wrap with hot wax thrown over it

Melted forks and knives


Melted spoons

More melted spoons!



Melted bottles


I didnt want to completely forget about the twisting side of things so to introduce some colour, i rolled paint on to numerous brown sheets, twisted them and left them for a few hours.  When i came back i unravelled them all and saw the different effects that this had had on the paint.






But as much fun as melting was, i did eventually run out of things to melt.  So like i did with my paint throwing video (which was sooo fun to do!) i thought about how things were after they had melted.  So using paper, i showed a solid block of colour that slowly melts away on to the floor.







Assessments are on in the morning.  I'm happy to be moving on now at this stage, i didnt do great but at least i can say i tried it.  Now home for the weekend to catch up on some badly needed sleep and then RAG WEEK BABY!!
