- Part 2 of a step-by-step demonstration (part 1 at • balloon cast plaster s... , part 3 at • balloon cast plaster s... , part 4 at • balloon cast plaster s... ). Learn how to make an automatic, abstract plaster sculpture in the style of Henry Moore, Hans Arp and Constantin Brancusi. This project is described in detail with sample images at www.functionals...
I've been teaching abstract sculptures with my high school students. We've created figure sculptures with plaster. I do like the color and texture of dried plaster. When the sculptures dry I use milk to seal the plaster. That way, we don't have any plaster dust and the sculpture has a low gloss surface.
Hi, first of all, thank you for sharing your awesome work. I am a senior student major in architecture in South Korea. And I'm working on my graduation project. Since I was suffering how to make physical models in atypical shapes, this video kind of opened the way of my project.Thank you so much!
I have been wanting to dive into plaster sculpture for some time now. This was awesome. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. I am looking forward to making something real soon.
Hi Terry,
thanks for posting these videos. this is really an interesting process that can get you pretty close to a Jean Arp styled sculpture. THanks again!! Shawn
You're welcome Shawn. :^)
Wow!!!
excelent job. I really love it. What's the name of this kind of plastig bag? where can I find it? thanks!
Thank you 😊 In this video, you see me inject ordinary plaster of Paris (available at a craft store) into a very large balloon using a two-litre, plastic pop bottle.
While it's in a liquid state, I distort the plaster-filled balloon. When the plaster hardens, it retains these distortions to make an "automatic sculpture" 😀
Good work
Hi,
May I ask what kind of balloon you are using? Thank you in advance .
Party City sells 24-inch balloons that work very nicely. They are durable and seldom break, as long as you avoid pinching or twisting the latex while it's filled with plaster.
