February 11th - Sculpture Merit Badge

Hi Scouters,

This Wednesday we will we working on our Sculpture merit badge requirement # 2(a) Model in clay a life-sized human head. Then sculpt in modeling clay (such as Plastine or Sculpey) or carve/rasp in wood or soft stone a small-scale model of an animal or person. Explain to your counselor the method and tools you used to sculpt the figure.

I will bring the oil based modeling clay that I have so we can make the life-size human head. We will be taking pictures of your creations if you plan on using my clay. If you want to keep the head please bring your own clay. If you want to carve wood or stone you are welcome to but you will be on your own for the tools and other materials needed.

We will also be working on picking a scout name, song, and yell that is not copyrighted. We need to decide this so we can design our troop logo and put it on our troop flag on February 25th when we work on the Art Merit Badge.

I have arranged for a Merit Badge counselor to come to scouts on February 25. This counselor is for both the Sculpture and Art Merit Badges. So be sure to fill out your merit badge worksheets so you can pass them both off on the 25th.
