Explain the process of paper mache.I started by building the basic shape with tin foil. Once I had the shape, I did three layers of newspaper to get more of a shape. Then, I used a gummy sculpting concoction to sculpt some of the details and added marbles for eyes. From there I did two more layers of paper towel. Then, I painted it and my boy was done. How was your piece successful?I think that the shape was good, and I like how the painting came out. I was trying to go for a more realistic look but still being creative, and I think that the paint did that. I like the different browns and the white spots on the nose and chest. I think it is easy to see what it's supposed to be, so the shape came out alright. What difficulties did you have with it? Was it the shape? Medium? Layers?I had a really hard time fitting newspaper and paper towels around the ears and horns. The layers were the hardest part for me. No matter how much I sanded the piece after the layers were on, it was still wrinkly because I had a hard time wrapping the newspaper around some of the body parts. I wanted the final product to be way smoother than it turned out. Not to mention the flour and water mixture felt horrible. If I were to do it again, I'd be more careful about how I put on the newspaper and paper towels.
