Lesson details
Key learning points
- Modroc can be molded into 3D shapes to create masks, offering opportunities for detailed and creative designs.
- Layering modroc is essential for building a strong and durable mask, while allowing time for it to dry between layers.
- Understanding texture and form is crucial in adding details and uniqueness to each mask.
Keywords
Modroc - A type of plaster bandage used in sculpture.
Sculpture - The art of creating three-dimensional forms by shaping materials such as clay, metal, or plaster.
Layering - The process of building up materials in successive layers to create depth and strength in a sculpture.
Texture - The surface quality or feel of an object, which can be smooth, rough, or bumpy.
Common misconception
A single thick layer of modroc will create a strong sculpture.
Modroc works best when thin layers are built up gradually. This allows the material to dry properly and allows the sculpture to become stronger.
Equipment
Modroc (Plaster of Paris bandage strips). Scissors. Paints and brushes. Water containers (for wetting Modroc). Newspaper and gloves. Aprons.
