This is the back of the mannequin that I produced as part of my project. Once I had finished using the paper mache technique around the body, I then painted it all black before adding any other colour. Work, Rest and Play is painted on the back of the mannequin using acrylic paint as well as colourful flowers on a spiralled stems. Images that are related to Work, Rest and Play are also painted onto the back. Some include, a tie for work, Zzz.. for rest, and a pack of cards for play.
I produced this life size mannequin from scratch using myself as a template. Using basic equipment such as brown tape, old clothes, and newspaper, glue and kitchen roll for paper mache, I was able to produce this. It took quite a while to fully assemble, as I had to make each body part separately, but it was worth it. I achieved a good grade in the end, and now have my own mannequin.
