Drawings without Paper -Wire

First Attempt- learning about the wire


Second Attempt- getting better


Third Attempt- Still Working on it
 So far I've made three wire models and a few pieces of random studies with it.  I think I'm starting to get the technique for bending the wire so it's significantly less frustrating than it was the first night and more about seeing how the space forms as I bend the wire and deciding where it should go next.  I've got a pretty good idea of where this drawing without paper is going now- I have to make sure to extend the depth more and to incorporate the sheet of paper. Another thing I need to do, especially for the final model is to be more conscious about the continuity of the wire instead of just adding extra pieces when I ran out. 

For the other drawing without paper, I finally made the first mold and cast today which I probably should've already done,  but now that I've built one mold I think it will be easier to build the next.  It is still drying in the mold but one thing to keep in mind with the plaster- deeper pieces in a mold take up more plaster than it would seem like they would, or perhaps the size of the bucket was deceiving but I had to mix more plaster as after I had started to pour because I didn't have enough, so hopefully it will have enough strength to stay together.  We'll find out tomorrow.
