White glue casting.In this project, which uses white glue to make a positive visual representation for a negative mould, middle school students learn more than relief sculpture techniques. They also expand their awareness of the artistic heritage of other cultures and artists of different time periods. As students compare relief sculptures from China, Japan and Africa, they are introduced to the vocabulary of sculpture. Concepts of art such as mass, form, positive and negative space becomes integrated into the activity as students share their responses to relief sculptures of other cultures and artists. Procedure: 1. Draw your original design on a sheet of lightweight paper. The paper should be the same dimensions as the aluminum foil to be used for the mould. 2. Use a wooden tongue wooden tongue see actinobacillosis. depressor depressor /de·pres·sor/ (de-pres´er) 1. that which causes depression, as a muscle, agent, or instrument. 2. depressor nerve. de·pres·sor n. 1. to dull the edges of the aluminum foil. 3. Place the aluminum on a pad of newspaper before transferring the design. 4. Transfer the design onto the aluminum foil by tracing over the pencil sketch. 5. Use a taffy Taffy Welshman who “stole a piece of beef.” [Nurs. Rhyme: Baring Gould, 72–73] See : Thievery apple stick, a bamboo skewer, yard markers, a tongue depressor tongue depressor n. A thin blade for pressing down the tongue during a medical examination of the mouth and throat; a spatula. and other tools to create the relief mould in the aluminum. 6. When the mould is complete, apply petroleum jelly to the inside. 7. Cut 1" (3 cm) strips of cheesecloth cheese·cloth n. A coarse, loosely woven cotton gauze, originally used for wrapping cheese. cheesecloth Noun a light, loosely woven cotton cloth Noun 1. . 8. Pour an initial layer of white glue into the relief mould. 9. Do not allow this layer of glue to dry. Apply strips of cheesecloth to the negative recession, casting the initial impression. After the cheesecloth is applied, lightly coat the cheesecloth with white glue. 10. Allow the chessecloth layer to dry. 11. Repeat this process three times, each time building up the thickness of the glue. 12. When the glue is dry, lift and pull the form from the mould. 13. Tissue paper, tempera tempera (tĕm`pərə), painting method in which finely ground pigment is mixed with a solidifying base such as albumen, fig sap, or thin glue. paint, yarn, nontoxic dyes, cellophane cellophane, thin, transparent sheet or tube of regenerated cellulose. Cellophane is used in packaging and as a membrane for dialysis. It is sometimes dyed and can be moisture-proofed by a thin coating of pyroxylin. and other media may embellish the white glue sculpture.
