Figure Sculptures
Figure Sculptures
In art 7th graders began this unit by examining human anatomy and proportions. After drawing both the human skeleton and muscles, we practiced drawing each other in a series of gesture drawings. Once we practiced our figure drawing skills, we took our talents and knowledge into the 3-D realm.
By first constructing a wire armature to act as the skeleton, we added tin foil and tape to represent the muscles. Next, we added a layer of paper clay to represent the skin and tissue. Finally, we used paint and mixed media to add amazing details to their figure sculptures.
