Communist posters

I have been looking at communist posters for example this type of poster. I like this poster because it helps me a lot on how can I make my sculpture look strong and firm. As you can see in this poster that they are holding a red book with their arms up high, you can see how strong the arms look, proud to be a revolutionary community. Also what I see in this poster is that these two men look like there workers that haven’t had a good salary wage. So they are happy that the revolution has begun after all those years of suffering they can do something about it now.  The arms they look strong and firm but also the hands are like they are holding the book tight, is like they were feeling passionate for the book they’re holding.

So this poster helped me a lot when I was making my sculpture. As you can see from the poster there arms are strong and firm as I mentioned in the beginning, my aim was to make my sculpture look strong and firm so used mod rock. To make the form of the my fist, I had to put strips of mod rock on the top of my hand and let it dry for 10 min, after that’s done I did the same procedure at the bottom of my hand so I continued doing that on my arm. So I put all the bits together to make my arm as you can see.

Then I had to paint it on the arm I tried to make look like a black sleeve, like a suit, then I painted the hand to complete my sculpture.
