What is the basic method of clay sculpture?

1, in order to stabilize the center of gravity and save materials, the hollowing method is completely solid without considering the thickness of the mud blank when modeling. If the outside is slightly hard, cut it into dry parts, dig out the inside to make it slightly hollow, and repair some with mud.

2. The clay board method is to use clay boards with different thicknesses to connect or cut out their own imaginary images, and to make point, line, surface and texture effects for decoration through various clay sculpture techniques.

3. The mud strip method is to rub the mud into long strips by hand, and then enclose the mud strips to make it a utensil. Don't press too much when making, try to keep all kinds of mud strips.

4, hand kneading method This is the simplest and most practical method in clay sculpture. You can use the whole piece of clay to create an image, and then draw a part by pulling, pinching, kneading, rolling, pressing, inserting, connecting and pasting.

Matters needing attention in clay sculpture maintenance:

1, natural factors include the influence of humidity, the change of internal structure of water-soluble salts and supports, the growth of microorganisms, the change of physical climate (usually referring to temperature and humidity), the invasion of sunlight, rain and sandstorms, and the role of atmospheric pollutants.

2. The common pathological phenomena of clay sculpture mainly include hollowing, peeling, crisp powder, cracked nails, foaming, degumming and peeling, picture fading, discoloration and pollution. To preserve clay sculptures for a long time, it is very important to create a good protective environment.

3, the protection of clay sculpture is important to control humidity. Because humidity is the most dangerous factor causing wall diseases. Buildings should maintain good ventilation conditions, which is of great significance to preserve the integrity of clay sculptures.

4, avoid the influence of light, never direct sunlight on the clay sculpture. If too much moisture has been eliminated, generally speaking, it is best to put it in the dark and use artificial light source for lighting, which is convenient for controlling illumination and effectively eliminating the damage of light to clay sculpture.
