WALT: What we are Learning to Do

This week we are continuing our exploration with paster casting and preparing our casts for painting.

We will allow prepare or scenery for underwater photography.

Requirements:

Each group needs to make at least three striped and painted bottles

1 other object. For example. Rubber gloves or freeform balloon sculptures

Tasks

Prime the plaster of Paris by applying acrylic gesso to the exterior using a paintbrush. Priming with gesso seals the plaster so it no longer absorbs moisture. Allow the gesso to dry completely, and apply a second coat if necessary.

Another layer of paint can be applied and allowed to dry.

Then another layer of tape and paint can be applied. Allow the paint to dry completely between coats.

Make sure you cast a unique object at well as you bottle.
