Creature Sculptures

Studio Project #3: Creature Sculptures


Creative Process
  • use your sketchbook to create thumbnail sketches of various creatures that blend features of animals, insects, and even humans
  • choose one of your creatures and draw a full-page sketch that includes both textural and structural details from a variety of angles
  • create an armature using wire, foil, and tape--ensure your finished sculpture will be free-standing and stable
  • add a layer of plasticine to additively and reductively reproduce your creature sketch as a three-dimensional form
