Steps

  1. Brainstorm. Sculptures can have different meanings. They can look cool or look lame. They could have a message on them, or be a picture. Brainstorm what kind of sculpture you want to have.
  2. Collect. Sculptures are known for what they are made out of. You could have a unicorn made of candy wrappers, or a dragon made from Coke bottles. If needed, remember to collect glue as well.
  3. Make a base. All sculptures have to have something to hold them up. It's called the base. It can be showing or not showing. Many sculptures have a basic base made out of sticks. To be more steady, you could use a piece of metal.
  4. Paste. We've all used it. Paste in sculptures is like bread on a sandwich. You have to choose one that will hold up what you are using.
  5. Give it character. If you don't want your sculpture to be a piece of the ground, you have to give it character. For example you could have a news paper unicorn. To give it character glitter paint it.
  6. Paint it. You don't have to paint it if you don't want to. If you do, choose bright eye-popping colors. That will make it stand out.
