Objective: To use the sculptural models created for project #2 to produce three or four sectional plaster molds, either for slip-casting or press molding to create the final sculptures. These molds are to be well designed and to exhibit craftsman-like mold-making. The processes you will use to section the sculptural form, define and create a separating plane and keys will be taught through sequenced class demonstrations. Making a mold is like thinking inside out or about a three dimensional puzzle. The technical reading that follows is required for it will explain how to make a sectional mold and will supplement the demonstrations and technical discussions.
Supporting Technical Reading:
