Unit: PROPERTIES &TRANSFORMATION

Demonstration:

Today Andy spoke and showed us about the different materials we could think about making our props with. He spoke about the different polystyrenes, how you could carve them and create loads of different types of objects, from fruit and vegetables to an iron.    

Chavant is a type of oil based clay that won’t dry out or crack. It comes in three types; hard, medium and soft. Plasterleen is very similar to Chavant just cheaper. Super Sculpey is like clay that can be used for detail work. Plaster which Andy made the helmet mould out of, and different types of wood.
