Experiments in different medias.

The horse in wire

This was a great media to use for the model I was making because it is easy to sculpt into shape it produces an effect where the sculpture is transparent but strong. And the wire is fairly light so it is straightforward to support.

The horse in clay

I found this media the most useful to use as when using it I was able to obtain a great amount of detail and distinction. It would be my preferred media because it also has many tools which enable my to make the horse more lifelike. The horse needed a base to support the model, as the clay is quite heavy. One problem with using clay is that it dries very quickly if not kept wet.

The experiment with mode rock

With this media I decided not to make a horse but to cover a bottle with it, as it was the first time in using mode rock. I found modrock very similar to clay as is must be kept wet and I could obtain detail from adding more mode rock and concentrating it in one area so it would be able to have different levels. Mode rock when dry left many little bits on the surface, which was not good if I was trying to create a smooth texture.
