FOIL FIGURE SCULPTURE

We can  begin with a few live gesture drawings, about 30 seconds each, to warm up and get posing ideas, then we create the sculptures using about a foot of aluminum foil. I also run through some famous figural sculptures by Giacometti, Degas, and Henry Moore on the whiteboard projector to get in the sculpting spirit! and some important sculptures by our famous artist in Vigo Francisco Leiro

Start the scrunching slowly, to keep from tearing the foil, and then once it's starting to take shape, you can refine te pose. If a limb gets torn off, it is easily repaired at the end with the hot glue gun. 

Next, we trace the figure on the mat board base and shade it in. I attach them myself with a spot of hot glue.

Let´s have a look to the hand out on Teachers Pay Teachers to try it out
