How to Make an Armature
By Paula Briggs
This resource explores armatures and explains when you might need one and how to make one for your project. There are many reasons for using an armature, and many different ways to construct one. Here, we focus on a simple, quick, and low-tech approach that provides a strong foundation and can be adapted and built upon as your confidence and experience grow.
In this resource, we focus on making an armature using sticks and a glue gun, with an emphasis on creating figurative sculpture (sculpture based on the human body).
Included in this resource:
– What is an armature, and when do you need to make one
– Benefits of using sticks and glue gun to build an armature
– Materials and Equipment
– Why glue guns are so great
– Methodology: How to build a figurative sculpture/armature

Hi, have you thought about making some of your content ‘open educational resources’ so it can be shared and reused on other sites? I’d be happy to talk about how our two sites could collaborate. All the best Chris
