Process post 3 3D

Here I went to wood work to asked Chris about base from MDF for my sculptures. Chris cut it for me immediately, I also asked about "PLINTH" but he told me to back around 3PM... so I back to art factory with my two pieces of MDF 20cm x 20cm and 30cm x 20cm.

As in previous term I used a "GESSO" mixed with water and cover it three time to make the surface appropriate to apply the paint. When it fully dry I used a sand paper to make it smooth.

At 3PM I went to wood work to collect the pieces of MDF from Chris for my "PLINTH".

Firstly I measure everything and I tried to use "angle bracket?" but it was too big to connect my pieces of MDF properly, so I used masking tape, then I tried to use screw but MDF started cracking...    

So I moved on to next idea... a STAMPER! I connect everything by stamper.

After  I realize the MDF isn't connect perfectly smooth, so I thought the glue will be ok to fill in holes.

After I bring it to the ART FACTORY my Tutor Sam gave me a filler to fill the gaps between MDF.

When I finished I leaved it to dry and moved on to painting the bases for a sculpture.

After that I used a sand paper on the PLINTH and cover it by primer (GESSO) as I did before with the base.

After that I took the wires, tools, base for sculptures, clay etc. to my partner house and I worked on it.

I used same method as before term, that’s mean took the aluminum wire then twisted it to make a shape and then wrapped copper wired around aluminum one.

After that I used a glue to stick it to the base and then I left it for the night to dry it off.

Friday I began from creating the first shapes of figures. For this task I used air drying clay and modeling tools. 

Here I leaving a photo from different perspective.

In half way through I realize that I made too long torso, but I continued making sculpture and tried to fix it.

I added more air drying clay to make it more massive 

After that I started adding the structure to my sculptures. 

When I finished I left it to dry it off. 

After that I moved on to the next one, I used same method and I made a same miss take that's mean the torso of the sculpture was too long but I continued making it. By the way I forget to take the photos of process. At the end I added the wire as a base for the flag. Flag is still unfinished.  

To better understand the topic I watched the video depicting destroyed Warsaw after WWII

DESTRUCTION OF WARSAW BY THE GERMANS

This it showed me what the buildings, the atmosphere looked like at that time, which I used for my project

Next day I covered the wire by clay...

After I bring the sculptures to Art Factory and from piece of paper I created the flag which I painted before.

Then I painted the plinth
