Ideas For Making Sculptures Out Of Molding Clay

Users can sculpt bodies out of molding clay.


Molding clay comes in a variety of different colors and softness levels. Molding clay is ideal for making pottery and sculptures because of its ability to shape and design figures. However, making sculptures out of molding clay requires users to work quickly and inside a cool room to avoid hardening.


Sculpt a Famous Building


Use your molding clay to sculpt a famous architectural building or landmark. Ideals may include sculpting the Leaning Tower of Pisa, the Coliseum, the World Trade Centers, Empire State Building or Stone Hedge. These famous buildings or landmarks allow users to find various pictures for helping design a sculpture. In addition, these buildings allow users ample time to construct before the clay starts to harden.


Sculpt a Popular Electronic


Make a sculpture out of a popular electronic, like a Blu-Ray, an iPod or a cell phone. Because technology is constantly changing, these devices will likely become obsolete in a few years; however, the sculpture will capture the era in which the device was manufactured. Sculpting an electronic may one day bring people to remember how advanced the device was for its time, allowing users to compare the current technology from that of the past.


Sculpt a Home


Take a photo of your home. Use the photo to make a sculpture of your home, adding in steps, windows and even people to the sculpture. Sculpting your home allows you to capture the beauty of your home, providing you with a 3-D view that a photo cannot provide. Plus, sculpting your home allows you to add any improvements or renovation ideas, giving you a better understanding as to how your home may look in the future.


Sculpt a Body


Take a photo of a body. Use the clay to capture the curves, imperfections and beauty the human body provides. Be sure to add details to the body, such as muscles, toe nails, scars and hair styles. Sculpting a body may provide viewers insight into your thoughts and views as an artist. In addition, you may want to discuss beauty of curvy, slender or muscular bodies through your art.
