Here is the assignment in 3-D class: Make a free-standing sculpture, as tall as you are, and out of indigenous materials. In this case indigenous includes anything found around the studios.
Mary P Williams "3-D Palms"
For my person I did a representation of my painting with colorful “painters hands” using a mop, styrofoam, and paint.
Jill Carpenter "3-D Quinceanera"
Jill did a Quinceanera, or “Sweet Sixteen” figure, with all the Mexican symbols, as it is done here in the Rio Grande Valley.
Manuel Lince "3-D Torso"
Manuel surprised us all with a cast of a friend done in ground up corn husks which he mixed with glue, layered on her body, and sand-papered to finish it.(Sand-papered the white cast – not her body!)
Erika "3-D Robot"
Finally, Erika came up with an endearing Robot … out of items discarded by her teenage son … it was made of shoe boxes, cereal boxes, and old toy boxes. Very fanciful !
