Student Materials:
Boards:
Bristol board is like thick, stiff paper. It is available in various thickness.
A cold pressed (or vellum) surface is slightly textured, while a hot-pressed (or plate) surface is very smooth.
Chipboard: is a dense, gray, uncoated board made from recycled paper.
Foamcore: light, strong, and rather unforgiving. It must be cut with a very sharp X-Acto knife or a scroll saw, and dents in the surface or cutting errors are difficult to repair.
Corrugated cardboard: strong, lightweight, cheap, and amazingly versatile.
Glues:
White glue: nontoxic and water-soluble when wet.
Glue Stick: Water-soluble, acid free, and nontoxic.
Rubber Cement: Traditional paper adhesive that can be "erased" when misapplied.
Hot Glue: Wax-based, translucent material that is heated in a gun and applied as a hot, viscous fluid.
Dry mounting tissue: distributed in sheets of thin, clear plastic. Adhesion occurs when the material is heated, either in a dry-mount press or using an iron.
Tapes:
Transparent tape (Scotch tape) is an all-purpose lightweight, temporary adhesive for paper.
Masking tape: tough, flexible crepe-paper tape. Designed to mask off unpainted areas, as when painting a car.
Drafting tape and artists tape: like masking tape but has less glue.
Double-sided encapsulating tape: has acrylic adhesive on both surfaces.
-Ephemeral materials can expand meaning, reduce cost, and minimize environmental impact.
-Student materials, including various types of boards and adhesives, work best when used for the intended purpose.
-A pile of wood at a construction site is stacked for convenience and accessibility. A pile of wood in a sculpture is designed to communicate ideas and emotions.
-Art gains power from its connection to life. Through art, commonplace experiences are distilled, reexamined, and transformed.
-Traditional Western sculpture is massive, representational figurative, and narrative.
