This featherweight, pliable modeling material can be used to make almost anything--doll furniture, Christmas ornaments, jewelry. You can roll it, squeeze it, or mold it. Each of the four sealed pouches contains 8 ounces of nontoxic modeling material, each in a different color--red, yellow, blue, and white (colors may stain). Braid colors together, or combine them to form new colors. Try a marbled look. A chart on the back of the lidded plastic container shows how to mix colors. You can press objects into the soft material, either to leave decorative or textural imprints or to become a part of your creation. Objects usually air dry within 24 hours--and so does the leftover material, so be sure to put it in an airtight container for safekeeping. Once you've opened a package it's best to use it all on the same day. When your creations have "set," they can be painted and decorated. --Louise Carter

Why do paleontologists and archaeologists make molds of fossils and artifacts? You'll find out with this unusual Eyewitness Kit that explains the basics of molding and casting. The instruction and information booklet describes different kinds of molds, processes, and materials scientists use to create casts. The kit includes molding material to make a reusable seamless mold of a favorite item and enough casting medium for several creations. Adult supervision is recommended, as this is a somewhat complex and messy operation. Your child could create some unique gifts using this kit--what grandparent wouldn't love a cast of a grandchild's hand? --Marcie Bovetz

Who's up for a Clay Party? If you want to keep up to a half-dozen little folks busy and entertained, look no further. Inside a fairly sturdy bucket you'll find five 7-ounce packages of bright, nontoxic modeling clay, 16 plastic clay cutters (shaped like stars, houses, and more), four dinosaur clay molds, a rolling pin, safe cutting and modeling tools, and a plastic mat to make cleanup a snap. The clay is easy for small fingers to work and the tools make it simple to turn out cool, colorful characters in minutes--then ball 'em up and start over! --Rob Lightner

Sculpture
|
|
|
Painting is the practice
of applying pigment suspended in a carrier
(or medium) and a binding agent (a glue)
to a surface (support) such as paper, canvas
or a wall.
|
|
|
Drawing is one of many
ways to making an image; it is the process
of making marks on a surface by applying
pressure from or moving a tool on the surface.
These marks may represent what the artist
sees when drawing, a remembered or imagined
scene or abstraction.

Sculpture is any three-dimensional
form created as an artistic expression.
Sculpture is primarily concerned with space:
occupying it, relating to it, and influencing
the perception of it.
