Media Workshop - Week Seven

Plaser Cast Steps

Find where the halfway line is in the object, plaster doesn't have much give so its important that there is no 'undercuts' or the cast won't seperate cleanly

Create stands out of clay and rest the object on it

Water is about half the plaster mixture - fill with plaster till an island forms on top of the water. Leave for two minutes

Mix with your hands - removing all lumps and trying not to create any bubbles

Fill your mould up to the line

The plaster will first turn glassey, then will harden in 20ish minutes.

Chemical reaction, irreversible, gives off heat

Plaster reaches a pliable stage first

when it is still soft place registration balls of clay halfway in the plaster - helps to match the mould when it comes to casting.

Also attach a piece of clay from the object to the edge - will form a spout to pour into

Once fully hard, vaseline the object and the plaster top, then pour in more plaster to the top

Week One

Overview

In this class we take an expanded look at photographic technologies. We ask how the language of photography impacts the way we approach life. Then we take a closer look at photography in Aotearoa. The assignment brief will be explained, and you will join in some activities to determine the theme you will be studying.

Class Notes

Exciting first class. Glad I chose this module. Especially excited to learn more about the philosophies of photography as well as ethical practice. A lot of writing though...
