2D Work
Tasks:
- Research and analyse the work of an artists self-portrait or portrait.
- Complete a Pastiche of the piece of work you have analysed.
- Recreate a modern version of the image you have analysed using photography, and if needed Photoshop.
- Sketch a turnaround of the artists portrait showing the front, back, left and right views. Include colour in a way that reflects your artists style and techniques.
- Create your maquette using tape and newspaper, roughly giving shape to the bust (head, neck and shoulders).
- Begin to add a layer of clay around the maquette and begin roughly detailing features.
- Using clay tools, refine the features to represent the artists' portrait.
- Leave a small hole in the bottom of the bust for the ash of the maquette.
- Once your sculpture is fired, add a base/primer coat of paint.
- Using acrylic paint, replicate your artists techniques and style to finish your sculpture.
