Week of October 10th, 15th, & 23rd / Plaster Arms, Working on Form

Students will be able to use their own arm as a mold for a plaster sculpture project. Students spent time prepping by cutting plaster gauze into small pieces. They were also able to see a demonstration on applying the plaster. This week they can make the arm and begin painting it. This is a student driven project so the theme is up to them.
