Build an life sized self portrait using 1 material that you have never seen used in a sculpture before and/or you have a lot of them lying around. The content of your sculpture most show a conceptual link to the material you have choosen. Whatever material you choose, you must have enough of it to create something that can be life size, however the sculpture does not have to be figurative. The material you select must be the only visible material used to construct your piece, with the exception of skeletal, adhesive, or presentation materials such as hanging wires or supports.
You must work on the projects in class. Your grade will go down with each unexcused absense, or if you come in unprepared to build.
Definitions
Self Portrait: a portrait of oneself done by oneself. This does not have to be a literal representation of your body.
Found Objects/Assemblage: a sculptural technique of organizing or composing into a unified whole a group of unrelated and often fragmentary or discarded objects. How can you use found objects to represent yourself?
Utilitarian: pertaining to or consisting in utility, having regard to utility or usefulness rather than beauty, ornamentation, etc. What utilitarian objects best defines you? Try to think about what a specific utilitarian object is meant for, what job does it perform? For example, a light bulb is meant for illuminating darkness, whereas a recliner chair is meant for relaxation and comfort, and a hammer is meant for repair, but has a forceful element to it.
