My Final Piece Idea So far..

My brain was on overload on what im thinking of for my final piece as this was distracting me from my present work, I have decide to express my ideas on here. So I've been thinking about lots of things from massive influences from Jaume Plensa, from the way he creates his work to simple and effective exhibiton displays. Apart for this the are many other artists who have influenced me which I have come across along the way when ive been experimenting with different mediums, including: clay; wire; mod rock; glue; printmaking, plaster casting and wax.
I will be using several of these In my final piece as they were successful while experimenting. But the ones Im not using don't fulfill what I'm trying to accomplish. My idea so far is to make 5-6 life size (maybe adult or child size measurements not too sure yet) sculptures, using the mediums which I have already tried. I will make the sculptures from a mould, although I'm not sure how to make that yet, as I came across the idea this afternoon after sitting back and analysing my work. I had a look through a book today borrowed off Jo conlon just to have a better understanding on how I could present my work in the end of year exhibition. As I was looking through, I came across Jaume Plensa and a thought provoking sculpture made from layers which I am going to attempt to make myself out of plaster cast tomorrow.

Then hopefully by the end of the day I will have an understanding on what I can use or my final piece and how I can make a mould for the base only work. I would like to use/make a sculpture made out of: clay( which maybe be the mould/template to reproduce the human figure several times; wire; hot glue; bottle tops; plaster of Paris. Before I jump in to my final piece I am going to find more artists who are relevent to what I want to achieve and how I can achieve what I want in the three weeks which we have left.
So from now till next week I need to:
-Make a plaster cast experimentation
-produce relevant artist research
-investigate ways to make a life mould of the human figures
-investigate human figure positions
-be in very early on Monday to begin my final piece giving me time for step backs along the way
-show all process on my blog
-produce images and research in my book
-produce journal and plans
-contemplate what message im telling though my art such as Morse code sign language or something different.
