Are there times when you get the urge to make something with your hands? You want to be free of the assignments that tell you exactly what to do and how to get the right answer. You want to create something that will last and is uniquely yours. This is the time to construct a sculpture. Using the construction method while making a sculpture gives you unique opportunities to react intuitively. Construction is an additive process where materials like wood, plastics, and metals are joined together using any number of devises such as nails, adhesives, and staples. This book explains the processes involved in using many different materials including paper, cardboard, discarded plastics, newspaper, and wire. These materials will be constructed to make sculptures. You will select subjects to create using the methods shown. As the work progresses you evaluate what you like or don’t like about what you see and make changes to get it closer to your original idea. There aren’t any rules for what the sculpture should look like. The sculpture can be conveyed through extreme realism or abstraction. You are the master as you work with your hands. In this book you are the creator. You are a sculptor!
