The first material that I have looked into using for my sculpture was foam board.
It is a good material in terms of sticking photographs onto it, and is also easily available to buy meaning the cost of the sculpture will not be to high – something I need to consider when looking into different materials to use. This particular foam board is 5mm thick, which is perfect for creating the desired layered effect I want within my final piece.
One set back to using foam board is how easily it can shapes. I order to create the body shape I will need to sculpt the material into different shapes and layers. Although I believe it can be done, it will take time to ensure that the end result does not look messy.
