Wire and Plaster planets
These representations of a planet were made from wire, paper, and plaster. The sphere part of the planet was made completely of paper and then covered in plaster and painted. The ring was made completely of wire and plaster and then painted over. The ring was attached to the planet using wire pieces as well. I first had the idea to make a planet in the small version and then with a partner was able to scale it up. Nothing really changed between the small version and the large besides the colors that we used for the large planet. We decided we wanted to make something more colorful for the large project. During the photographing portion of the project we decided to use a galaxy background to play into the space theme that we chose for the project.
