Mythical Creatures (Works in Progress)

So far, a lot of the creatures students are sculpting are quite interesting. 

Here is a little information about our process.

Of course, we started with a sketch. Planning is everything!

Next, we made an armature out of wire. I called this our skeleton.

Then, we bulked our creatures up with foil, paper, and tape. I called this the muscles.

After that, we covered them with paper mache. I called this our skin.

Students are still "putting the skin on", but many of the structures are impressive, especially for this being their first time sculpting in this way.

Preliminary sketch for student sculpture.

Basic sculpture, pre-sanding and painting.
