Fine art – Fifth Sculpture – Process
For a fifth sculpture I decided to challenge myself and make a sculpture entirely out of hot glue.
For this sculpture I wanted to depict my object lying over a log, so I began by wrapping a cylindrical object in tinfoil and using hot glue to create a bark inspired texture. I then layered the hot glue up to get the shapes for the body that I wanted and covered the whole body in an extra layer of glue to get a smooth and more rounded texture rather than seeing the layers used to get the shape. Once I had completed the body shape I used the same techniques to create a head, however, instead of building the shape up from the rest of the sculpture I made both the head and tail separately and attached them after I had completed them.
