This picture was certanly not my best as proportions were of as well as the positioning of the body is wrong/ however I do like the shading
Again this picture is not my faivourate due to the body position mistakes however it was fun to draw
Now this is my faivourate! It may seem blocky but hte body position is great especially the curves. I like its sence of no identity.

Negative space
What is negative space? Well my class recently investigated this.
Negative space is the area around the object whilst posative space is the space an object fills.
This can be demonstraited in many ways, we demonstrated it by tieing string all around the room. This exercise was enjoyable however it got a little tricky toward the end as we were running out of space to move!

Plaster casting
today we did plaster casts of people. To do this you must firstly wrap your subject (or victim) in clingfilm. this prevents any of the plaster getting stuck to their skin, this should be avoided as it is painfull.
After the first step the next thing to do is to mix your plaster, making sure it is the correct type for what you are doing.
To mix plaster you must find a bucket put enoougth water in the bucket accourding to how much plaster you want. Then add the plaster until there forms a small island on the top of the water. The next stage is to mix the plaster until it thickens slightly.
Stage 3 is to get scrib a type of bandage like material nd but it in the plaster submerging it to ensure all of the scrib is coverd and then it can be applied to the victim... I mean subject.
Cover the subject until coverd from shest to toe. making sure that they are not incased in the scrib and plaster as they will be unable to get out.
the next step is to wait for the scrib and plaster to dry.
Make sure the models are in a comfortable position before hand, they may want to lean against a wall.
then when th eplaster has set, gently remove it from the model.

Mental health at Bedlam
Although the hospital of st.Mary of Bethlam (Bedlam) in London had cared for the mentally ill since at least 1403, it was not until the 18th century that hospital facilities for the insane began to be seriuosly provided, and even this was on a relatively small scale.
Unease about the state in which many lunatics were kept led to the 1774 Act of parliment, under which five commissioners from the royal college of physicians inspected private madhouse in London, and justices visited and licensed those in the provinces. Though not successful in eliminating abuses, this Act was a forerunner for the later system of inspection of asylums.
In the early 19th century, a major fator in bringing mental illness to public attention was the illness of George III, a popular monarch who suffered recurrent periods of mania (now considered probably to be caused by porphyria) that his physicians were unable to control. they sought the advice of the reverend Doctor Francis Willis, who ran an asylum in Lincolnshire. He is said to have told the king that he was in urgent need of control himself or be put in a straightjacket. The prominence of the king's illness and its treatment focused attention on the problem and led to questioning about the lunacy laws.
The retreat and non-restraint
In Brittain, the founding of the retreat at York in 1796 by William Tuke, a quaker and a layman, with the development there of 'moral treatment', showed that asylum patients could be cared for more humanely. When Tuke's grandson Samual published details of the institution and its methods in description of the retreat in 1813, the concepts of moral treatment reached a wider audience. Despite its small size and other atypical charecteristics, the retreat began to act as a model which many future asylums attempted to reproduce.
The approach to the treatment of patients was a mixture of moral, educational and behavioural methods- an early example of a psychological approach. The success of the retreat convinced many that institutional care was the ideal method of treatment for the mentally ill.

Paper artists
When thiking about sculptures the last material I usually think about is paper, however there are some exceptional paper artists out there and here are some of the best ones.
The difference between origami and papercraft is that origami classicly only uses on peices of paper to create a sculpture, whilst paper artists use multipul peices of paper.
I believe these are incredable especially since they are made out of such a flimsy material.
Unlike most paper artists Nakamura actually makes cogs and some peices actual move and work, I find this highley impresive.
This artist is able to use incredable details to make amaizingly detailed sculptures.

Bert Simons – Incredibly Lifelike Portrait Sculptures
(images via: BertSimons.com)
Eerie, faceted 3-D paper heads float on a wall like grotesque hunting trophies. They’re photo-realistic replicas of Rotterdam papercraft artist Burt Simons and his friends, created when Simons had a ‘mid-life crisis’ in 2006 and realized there wasn’t much of him that would be left behind. So, Simons decided to ‘clone himself’, sculpting his head in 3D and using photographs to texture it. He uses a computer program to flatten out the head into printable pieces of paper and then assembles them with glue. Simons says having his clones around helped him “get used to his bald spot”.I believe these are incredable especially since they are made out of such a flimsy material.
