to experiment and avoid using traditional materials

to recycle and add meaning to the artwork

to make sculptures less environmentally friendly

Why might artists use found materials in sculpture?

shaping with fingers to create small pots

rolling clay into long strands to twist and create a 3D form

Match the clay shaping method to its description:

producing flat images with perspective techniques

developing objects with physical volume and depth for real-world or digital use

creating soundscapes and auditory experiences for visual media
