The title of this very faded 16mm film could be "How To Make Shitty Art" or perhaps more aptly, "How To Make Authentic 1960's Star Trek Scenery". Filmed during the height of the colored plaster and wire frame Picasso sculpture craze of the late 1950's, this film may have lost its color, but retains all of its weirdness. Enjoy!

    Was this filmed at a remedial student centre ?

    Hi Fran. Interesting video. I guess we were spoiled, we had lumps of soapstone to "sculpt"! I wonder how far into the '60's those plaster masterpieces decorated parents shelves?

    The third film today. You are out doing yourself.

    Thanks, Fran. I enjoyed this a lot. Wondering if subtracting blue (or perhaps magenta) would improve color.

    I wonder how many of those "masterpieces" have rotted away in landfill sites.

    I wonder if sny of the pieces were kept snd if any of the students went on to become artists as a career…
