Assuming neither prior experience nor artistic talent, this guide to the art of sculpture begins with exercises in seeing and drawing. It then explains how to work with various media, from free-form, unrestrained compositions of found objects to the techniques of working with wax, foil or Pariscraft. It is illustrated with student and professional work, and seeks to broaden the definition of what sculpture is.

5.0 out of 5 stars
Wonderful introductory book,

This review is from: Sculpture as Experience: Working with Clay, Wire, Wax, Plaster, and Found Objects (Paperback)
Peck's book gives a great overall look at the basic forms of sculpture. As an art teacher, I found it invaluable. She covers the main types of sculpture and helps you to create your own work with a limited budget (a great bonus). There are a lot of pictures to go with her easy to follow directions. If you are just starting, this is a great book to help you on your way.

1.0 out of 5 stars
the worst of what art should be,
By A Customer
This review is from: Sculpture as Experience: Working with Clay, Wire, Wax, Plaster, and Found Objects (Paperback)
Heaven help us in the arts if anyone thinks this book is useful for creating works of art. One of the projects uses foil as an armiture and then covers it with pariscraft gauze. I found this to be a very poor guide for creating sculpture, and an inforcement of the worst of what sculpture can be. There was some useful information here and there for the beginner, but not enough to make it worth the price of the book.
