Foam Pauldrons
Class project
Prof. Rebecca Senske

2023

For this project we were given a pattern for foam pauldrons. I cut out, assembled and painted the pauldrons. Then added decor of my own design and creation, using the Greek gods Hades and Persephone as inspiration.

Photo by me.

The "Persephone" shoulder I painted a lighter metal and the "Hades" shoulder and darker metal. Photo by me.

For "Hades" design I used foam clay to sculpt a skull and shrinky-dink plastic to make the flames. 

For "Persephone," I broke open Styrofoam balls and used their inner texture to make pomegranates and pomegranate seeds.
