Project 2:  Applied Design: Representational Eggs

Points possible: 15 points
7 pts additive egg
8 pts subtractive egg

Materials:
2 plastic quart containers
1 cotton tee-shirt rag
1 white egg packaged in a carton
wet sandpaper, sur-forms
calipers
plaster
modeling clay, plasticene

Scale: actual size of egg

Methodologies:  Additive. Select an egg for replication. Use plasticene or clay to build up an exact replica of the egg you selected. Turn in your clay egg with your original egg. Subtractive. Mix and cast a small plaster cylinder.  Through the process of subtraction, replicate an actual egg, perfectly, in plaster.  You may finish the final plaster egg with a clear paste wax if you choose.  Turn in your plaster egg with your original egg. 

Evaluation:  How precise you replicate the actual egg.  If your plaster egg is too small, or too large, you must repeat the project or lose all points.  Must be within 1/16” of an inch of your real egg.  The final plaster egg cannot be evaluated without the original egg you used as a reference.
