 Welcome Payton Sculptors. Sorry for the delayed blog start this semester. I thought I'd start with a few photos, followed by some questions.   Post your responses by 10/28.

 We have been making hand casts the past week, and now it's time to transform them into art!

The sculptures above were made by George Segal (1924-2000), an artist who pushed the potential of plaster bandages by using the full human figure as his form. But the qualities of the materials as well as the gestures and placement and context of his sculptures express  more complex ideas.
Who are the people he depicts? Why do you think he chose to keep the figures all one color?What do you think Segal was trying to communicate?
