Sculpture, life casts and press moulds.

The last time i took the life cast sculpture lesson i felt very overwhelmed and out of control with the precognition of the lesson.   I decided to ask the students to work in pears so they could work on each other. In the last lesson there were students trying and failing to work on them selves. I also brought with me examples of each stage of the modrock demonstration to show the students before my delivery of the practical. I also used a different but more reliable release agent for the plaster so that the students had a better result. I gave H&S before demonstration which i forgot to on the last. After lunch i delivered the alganight demonstration.
I felt that the lesson had a better structure and ran smoothly.

It was easier to concentrate on one process at a time in stead of students trying to do both the modrock and alganight at the same time. I felt that there was more time and the setting times fell into brakes and lunches instead of waiting around.
