Ceramics 2-Auguste Preault relief

Antoine-Augustin Préault was a significant 19th century sculptor from the Romantic movement.  His subjects included figures and fabric as well as decorative borders.

Please read and view the following links and get familiar with Preault's work.  

Your assignment is to find or create refernces for each element and create a relief that is a minimum of 8" x 8" and includes the following:
-a human figure (could just be a head and shoulders if you choose not to do a full figure.)

-fabric around the figure which could be in the form of a hood or anything you chosse to base on one of his specific works. (this needs to have form so it should not be flat)

-a decorative border containing the figure.  You can base it on any of Preault's work but do not copy it exactly, be creative.  

Your relief needs to have AT LEAST 2 inches of depth so plan carefully and you may want to consider building this in several components and assembling them.
