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.

Fine Art – Secomd Sculpture – Process

For My second sculpture I decided to use tinfoil to create s small scale version of my object in a sitting forward position. I started by scrunching tinfoil into the shapes of the different components of my object, eg head, ears, body, legs. I then used super glue to combine the pieces and added an extra layer of tinfoil around the components to give the sculpture a smoother texture.

Once put together I then used paint to add detail to the sculpture. I decided to use grey scale paint for this sculpture as it allowed me to leave areas of the sculpture bare and so that I could use the materials natural colour as part of its main design.
