Clay Man
This was a self portrait project for my sculpture class.
Prepped
We had to make a plaster mold for the final project.
Half Cast
Half way through the casting process.
Full Cast
The mold I got.
Near Perfect Fit
The sculpture was accurate enough to let me fit my head into the cast with and almost perfect fit! Everyone had a good laugh.
Destroyed
Unfortunately we had to destroy the clay sculpture as part of the project.
Clean Up
...aaannnddd we had to destroy the cast in the process also... I feel there was a lesson here.
Almost Done
After a lot of cleanup
Retirement
How that the class is over, he spends his days watching our paints dressed as Senor Felipe!

The original was 200% better than what you need up with...

I totally agree, unfortunately the teacher designed the lesson as a casting project, nd rushed us at the end. We didn't use a clay that 1/2

Could be fired though, so it was what I got or nothing :/

A 1st year art student could have told you there was no way that mold was going to work.

It did what it was meant to do, broke apart. It was a single use mold, it wasn't designed to be reused. It was made to be destroyed 1/2

You're right, a first year could see it couldn't be reused, but the whole process was meant for 1 unique final piece. In that it worked fine
