Upper School Plaster Forms

Sophomore and junior art students in Ms. Puccia's Art One class recently completed a series of 3-D body molds. These sculptures-in-the-round are composed of plaster-craft (porous fabric embedded with plaster) and traditional liquid plaster. Once the student-artists completed a diverse group of molds from their own body, they combined the pieces to create a larger form. The sculptures are explorations in positive/negative space, implied movement, organic shapes and mass.
