In making the sculptures everything was perfect until it started to reach the end. When finishing the sculptures I struggled to get the look of them just right, I tried to layerthe newspaper, as to get rid of the chicken wire outline, however that didn't work. So I experimented with some toilet paper to see if it would buffer out the outine, then put newpaper on top to seel it in, but that did not work either. I gave up on layering it and hoped that what ever I did, it would buffer out eventually. The final finish to the sculptures was a thin layer of toilet paper to cover up the text and colours of the newspaper, as the paint did not cover it up all that well and did not react to the surface of dried glue. After glueing the toilet paper down gently I let it dry before painting so that it had stuck properly and then painted over it which worked a lot better. Sadly they didn't come oout perfect but they are a lot better then what could have been. I actually like the texture the toilet paper has given, sadly I ran out of paint and could not get more in time, as I think they needed either 1 or 2 more layers to completely cover up the newpaper font. Next time I need to look more into sculpting as I now have the basics down. Or maybe try a easier material to work with.
When it came to arranging the instalment, I could have been a little more prepared, luckily with the help of julia, we arranged to share a room at uni to show our work in and she helped with finding me some plinths for my sculptures and recommended someone to help set up the projector. It all seemed very last minute but I managed to do it.
As a bonus to the original idea, I was going to add a sound piece for it to give it more of an atmosphere, but due to time and forgetting that that was a part of the project so far in, it never got done.
Overall, the project came out how I wanted too, I made the sculptures and got my hands dirty doing it. I made the textures to be projected onto it and I enjoyed the overall experience of making this project. But sadly due to badly timed personal reasons I couldn't give it my all like I hoped. Also again with better time managment and more motivation to get up and do my work, I think it could of come out even better then it already is. But even then I am still proud of what I have made and have learnt a lot from it.
