this is a quick video about how to make sure the paper structure is firm and secure.

the rough of what my project will look like in the gallery

progress on the paper mask

Senior Studio Contract

            My work for the senior thesis will consist of several works, possibly 4 or 5 pieces, to make up a full body of work. The work will include 3D modeling, paper sculpture, and traditional 2D drawing. These three components will comprise the total of each of the 4 or 5 pieces, and when put all together, will be the finished work.

            The “theme” of my project is based around culture, and equality. Basically how all the different people and cultures around the world all have the same essential qualities, and how we as humans are almost identical. (Granted, there are a few odd ones in the group).

            The formal aesthetics for this project will be the formation of paper masks, all formed from the same 3D model, and molded with slightly different features. I plan on these masks being all black and white, with possible varying gradients, along with different cultural designs to emphasis the concept. Having said this, I plan on driving some of my own thoughts and ideas into these designs, to better emphasis their equality.

            The final format will be 4 or 5, head sized paper sculpted masks. For now, I will say 4 masks, roughly 12in tall and 8in wide, for a total of 12in high, and about 38in wide (48in wide with 5 masks). These masks will be mounted on to the surface of a wall.   

Side Note: I should not need any equipment that I do not already have.

I HAVE AN IDEA! cultures, cultures, cultures. all of em, ever...ok, well maybe not ALL of them. TIME TO HIT THE BOOKS!

Update 9/4

Been thinking about how i want to go about designing my final project. I have the concepts down, but not sure how i want to go about placing them on. might have to do some research on that.
