It's not new news that there are TONS of different materials to use when creating a sculpture. Sculpture is a wide category of art that can be found everywhere. Following our Chihuly class installation, we began to explore one of the many careers in which sculpting is a prominent skill, that of a special effects make up artist. Before prosthetics used in movies and broadway plays such as The Cat in the Hat, The Grinch, Spiderman, and Lion King can be applied to performers, clay sculptures are created and cast as molds.
For this project our students were "hired" as special effects make up artists for The Jungle Book musical. Using paper mache, molds, cardboard, plaster, and paint, they were to create a mask for the production. They learned how to manipulate these materials, plan an overall goal, and attach add-ons in a creative and clean manner.

The variety was awesome and the final products turned out very nice! Is there anything these artists cannot tackle?
