This is a project I did for my 3D Visual Dynamics course last semester. The assignment was to create an asymmetrical three-dimensional composition from three round elements - spheres, cylinders, cones, semi-spheres, semi-cylinders, etc. The material had to be plaster.
The first thing I did was to make different shapes out of plasticine and make some experiments with them. After I figured out how my project was going to look like, I started thinking about ways to make it.
I made a hollow cone shape, using aluminum foil and Bristol paper, a cylinder, using a plastic cup and piece foam-core board. For the sphere I used a ping-pong ball.
I mixed plaster and poured it into the shapes. When the plaster was dry, I cut the plastic, foil and paper away. Using a rasp and some other tools, I removed a piece from the cylinder to make the intersection of the cylinder and the cone. I refined the shapes and created a nice texture on the surfaces. After that I attached the cone and the cylinder with plaster and the cylinder with the sphere with a piece of toothpick and Super glue.
Finally, I glued the whole thing to a wooden board to make it stay up.
