The process
Decide on a subject matter. You might need to use a computer to help you with images.
Break the subject down into a contour drawing.
Then, further break down the contour drawing into shapes that are closer and farther away.Slide8Slide9
Building the base
You are going to cut the shapes out of cardboard, mat board, and poster board and build up or cut out to create a 3D version of your drawing. This makes a sculpture that is
almost
flat. This type of sculpture is called
bas-relief.Slide10
Bas-Relief
Pronounced “
Baaa
relief.” The “s” is silent.Slide11
Side view and front viewSlide12
For best success…
Use at least 5 different levels. Some should be built up and some should be cut away.
Do not have too much of a level change to quickly, other wise the paper won’t squish into the deep areas without ripping.
Use different thicknesses of material for variety.Slide13
