I am requesting plaster, sandpaper and alginate for making molds, plaster for making casts, and sandpaper for smoothing them out! As part of the IB DP course, students must work in two to three media types including 3D/sculpture. I surveyed the class, giving them a few options of sculpture ideas we can do next year to meet this requirement. They agreed, making molds and life casting would be an ideal assignment. With the materials I am requesting, my students will create a life cast, and then add another component to the sculpture to connect it to their cohesive year two theme. This will empower students to make meaningful work, connect with each other, and share their stories. This project will allow each student to be independent, use their natural creativity to create unique works, and communicate something about themselves. They will be asked to pay attention to the distinction between thoughts and things, subjects and objects. We will also talk about physical, emotional, social, and cognitive development and growth as humans. We will reflect on changes that have been made in the last four years of high school - the milestones, hardships, etc. This project will create community, articulate subjectiveness, and network ideas.
