Sculptures have a Skin

In our sculpture studio we make sure our sculptures are finished by adding a "skin." 

 What is a skin? It is something that covers the surface of your sculpture, just like our skin covers our body.

You may want to add color by using paint, colored construction paper, makers, crayons or oil pastels, foil or fabric. 

You may want to use embellishments such as pom poms or beads once your sculpture is dry.
