Sculpture lesson 2

Armature

The first step in making a sculpture is to build and pose the armature of the figure. The material used depends on the scale of the figure. Aluminum wire for small sculptures, steel pipe for large. Some combination of the two with wood, foam or other fillers can be used. Posing the armature should follow the proportions and axial direction of the major forms of the figure.
