She is 12 years old and has some talent in music. She writes songs, sings and plays the piano. She's better them most kids her age, but to be honest, there are a few in the area that are better. We're encouraging her and want her to have fun with it, so there's a fine line on this too.
Lately, she's started creating animals with colored pipe cleaners. She twists the wire and builds it up to create the shape she's looking for, and it's suprisingly good. I mean, it's really good. Her contours and proportions are VERY, VERY ACCURATE!!!
With Christmas almost here, we want to get her something to build on this. She's never tried sculpting with anything else. We're going to look for a class that she can take, maybe we'll all go, who knows.
Does anybody here have any experience or knowledge about sculpting? She's been doing animals, so that's a start.
Clay is probably the most common, but wax would be needed for bronzes, is we went that route. Maybe just sticking with wire and seeing what's out there for that too?
Any thoughts, advice and suggestion would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Eddie
