Plastered sculpture

Art 1 has also been looking at Greek and roman sculpture and creating their own sculptures but using plaster of Paris instead of marble.  I would love to try to carve marble but for obvious reasons, budget and time, we pour plaster into pop cans and then form them into objects.

  1. I love these and I love the compact size of a pop can as I don't have much storage space. What did the students use to carve these? What Grade/age made them? I'd love to try them out.

    1. My high school Art 1, so mostly freshman/sophmores made these. I have a couple of sets of carving tools, but the plaster is so soft the first couple of days that paper clips, and clay tools work great.
