In my last post, i shared some pictures of the more "conventional" sorts of body padding projects my students might elect to do for this recent unit--pregnancy pads, gender-crosscast padding, and "permanent" dress form padding.

Some of my students though chose to do what are called "pod bodies" for this project--the kind of non-human physique structures typically made for creature costumes, like theme-park walkarounds. Due to space and time constraints (and in the interest of conserving materials/$ as well), we do these on the half-scale. Check them out!

My decorative arts class turned in their last round of projects yesterday, and i have some cool images to share! This class is seriously awesome.

The final project is a unit called "Reshaping the Actor," and it deals with projects in which the basic human form needs to be altered. On a traditional level, this can be a project like a fat pad or a pregnancy belly. On a more craftastic level, students have chosen in the past to do things like a dimensional spine/ribcage, extra arms (think Kali), etc. And, i also allow them to choose to do a half-scale pattern for a creature costume pod-body shape.

Check it out!
