Here is a sculpture site your students will enjoy -
especially if they like dragons. I know many of you
have your students (middle school) make gargoyles and
such.
She has a gallery that shows step by step how she
created a large dragon for a show.

Her work begins with a welded steel armature (or wood
- depending)- then she pads with aluminum foil - then
adds a clay skin. The work shown on the site was
dismantled after the show.
I imagine then works to be made permanent are cast
with a latex mold (I didn't read that far) - then cast
in fiberglass - or whatever medium.
If you go to her Awards and Appearances section - you
can see other works done this way (one with a wood
armature - although larger pictures are not there).
She also has two clay models (art nouveau figures)on
the site that will be cast in cement.
This is another site posted to Net Gold by Sean
Grigsby.
Enjoy,

P.S. Woody and all...My "list addresses" error
explanation..... I lost my address book on Yahoo.... I
needed copy and paste addresses to make my posts to
the lists....I found all of the addresses in my drafts
folder....I meant to send the addresses in body of
email to me only at Road Runner - but goofed. My
address book on Yahoo has returned so now even I don't
need them.
