Serial Slicing - Andrew Ward

This proved to be a fun project. Took my bust into Rhino and created the serial slices that would feed into the laser cutter.

After I received the cuts I started my assembly, which made me smile as all the pieces that were building him after the base looked like chubby bats.

 

After this, I coated the model in preparation for painting and then began using spray on the base followed by detailing in acrylics. The goal was to create a paint job that had a sketchy quality to it. When I create art I like to leave it in such a state that it isn't overly refined. I feel it loses character if it is and it doesn't retain the energy that sketches often have. 

 

 

Ivy Donnette: Serial Sliced Model

I decided that I didn’t want to paint my serial sliced deck of cards to look like a literal deck of cards. That would have been boring. Actually, I didn’t want to paint it at all. I wanted to cover my model in something that would add interest and texture. Fortunately, my first idea failed before I even put it on my model. Because it failed, I decided to give painting a try. The method of painting I chose is a form of printmaking where you paint on a substrate then press the substrate onto the object you want the print to be on. I haphazardly drizzled and blobbed paint onto a tin foil covered baking sheet then put marbles into the paint and randomly rolled the marbles around. The marbles mixed and swirled the paint in a completely random way.

Next, I lifted the foil off the baking sheet and pressed it onto one side of my model.
