Plaster Casting Project

For this project, we are using plaster to create a structure that based on our first project in space and materiality, which is using the parabolic curve to design a structure. This project teaches us how to turn a two-dimension design into a three-dimension.

Tools that I use:

  • Sketch paper
  • Form core board
  • Plaster
  • Water
  • Plastic bin
  • Utility Knife
  • Sandpaper
  • Tape

Stages:

  • I use the form board to cut out the shape that I want and tape the structure that I made together.
  • Then I mix the plaster and pour it on to the mod that I made.
  • After the plaster is completely dry, I tear down the plastic foam core.
  • Finally, I use sandpaper to make the surface nice and smooth.

Process:

 

Final Piece:

For my future work, if I do something with the plaster, I will put it on more gentle so that I don’t need to spend that much time to sand it and make it smooth. I will like to make more model using the plaster because I think it was challenging and fun at the same time.
