Let the Issues be the Issue

To those people who said race was an issue during the 2008 presidential election, they are lying. No matter where you go, who you are, and what you become, race will always be an issue to the inner conscious. However, looking at this unoffical advertisement, we should shut off our minds to racial issues. To me, race should've been the least issue during the election. America's economy was drastically going down, and America needed someone to guide America out of the failing economy. Although this advertisement does portray some logical fallacy, this should've hindered the American's decision on their votes.

3D Foam Plaster
My plaster form takes a shape of a whale. Although not intended from the beginning, I began to see that it took a shape of an animal. My plaster is also decorated with vivid use of colors and lines. I started out by using a simple recycled foam board, which I carefully shaved it to make a rough form of my plaster. Then I used wrapped it with a cast, from which then I used a liquid cast to make the form smooth overall.
Through certain forms and shapes I was able to create few of the principles of design and the elements of art. My painted patterns were able to create emphasis, contrast, balance, and overall a general unity. My colored lines also created movement and emphasis along with the texture of the plaster form. Overall I was pretty satisfied with what I made. Although I do regret on the part where I decided to choose my color scheme, it came out as a decent 3D form that looks very much like an African sculpture.
