Today was mostly about the boxes. We placed them together on a table and then engaged in a group communication about them. What were the obvious differences in the boxes, interior vs exterior, open vs closed, types of containers used, etc. Following this we proceeded to communicate to the class on an individual basis, taking turns presenting our box to the rest of the class and telling a little about it. This would be a good follow up to the exercise in a high school class, but time might become an issue in a larger class. To get around this issue one might ask the students to stand up and tell the class 3 things about their box.
Following the P/R for the boxes we were introduced and began working on the next assignment; masks. I have done these kinds of masks before and really did not enjoy the feeling of the shrinking/drying plaster covering my face. As a result myself, as well as a couple other students, built head shaped forms from news paper and constructed our plaster forms on top of those. I decided to keep mine fairly featureless in construction and will end up creating the features with paint or other materials. My thoughts on the design, at the moment, are to create a slightly disfigured older being. beyond that I have a couple of ideas and have begun sketching some of them out.
at the moment I am leaning more towards the one on the right, an aged ninja-turtle type creature.
