Large Scale Sculpture
Get your body into a particular position -
e.g. stretched out on the floor, standing tall, crouching
etc.
Take a few minutes to appreciate what it feels
like to be in that position. Feel the weight
of your body pressing down through your feet, or back...
feel how strong or weak different parts of your body seem.
When you are sure you know what it feels
like to be in that position, start making sculpture
which is the same size as you are.
Try and capture the way your body feels to
you, rather than looks.
Tips
Think about strong shapes which the body naturally
makes, which will help your sculpture stand or sit.
It will be easier to make your sculpture stand
if you make at least three parts of the body touch the floor
(e.g. two feet and one hand, or two feet, two hands and
your bottom).
Don't get carried away with details - its
big shapes that count.
