Progress a of 5/15/17 I have finally completed assembling this piece, and it took quite a long time to do. I had the most trouble assembling the middle/top of the arch piece because it was the least stable and had nothing underneath it to hold it up. I didn't have an armature within the piece, so it was a little tricky trying to figure out a way to make it work. I did think about building as armature at one point, but decided against it because I wasn't sure if I would want to keep that shape as I continued to work, or if I wanted to change the shape of the piece as I went along. This turned out to be a good thing because I did end up changing the shape a bit, not too drastically, but enough to fit what I felt was the most effective way to create a stable structure. When I have a chance, I would like to go back to the sculpture and work on polishing/cleaning some of the pieces of mirror and getting rid of some of the glue that is visible. I didn't think that getting rid of the glue would take so long, but it is everywhere!! Progress as of 5/8/17 I have come up with some more ideas for this sculpture, including using keys in my composition. I think that I finally have enough mirror to finish this project and I am pretty excited to finish it!! I am pretty close to completing my bases, and after I finish them, making the top part should go by much faster! Progress as of 4/28/17: I have been experimenting a bit more with some of my materials to try to figure out how I want to approach assembling this piece. I am planning on changing this shape to become a little flatter so that I can use it as a side for my sculpture. I am going to start working on the bases that my sculpture will sit on in the upcoming week. I will try to make the bases a bit wider than I made this piece because I think that it just seems a bit too small. Progress as of 4/21/17: So far, I have worked mostly on planning, but I have also been gathering supplies. I am excited to start working on this sculpture, but need to determine how big I want to make the sculpture. This depends mainly on how much mirror I am able to find.

Ptrogress as of 4/5/17
This is what I have completed with my sculpture so far. I am mostly done, but I plan on fixing a few problems, and I am currently debating whether or not to add more figures. I like the way that it has turned out so far, but I am also trying to decide on how I want to present it. Right now I am leaning towards hanging it instead of having it rest on a surface, but I have to figure out exactly how I want to do this. |
