Sculpture

Methods

• Modeling
• Casting 
• Carving
• Assembling 

Modeling:

You need something malleable like clay, dough, or silly puddy, etc. 

Oil Based Clay: Does not “dry” quickly—used to sculpt and then molded, then casted

Armature—holds the weight of the clay (wire)

Casting:

Replacement method,mold of an oil based sculpture and then replaced with bronze or some other material.—Bronze is a traditional material, strong, quality, cheaper.

Interior mold, and mother mold

Sare Purdue—Lost wax method

Carving: 

Process of taking away. 

Assembling:

Process of putting together
