Foamboard Models


I came across this website today that contains some great tips and techniques for making foam core models of buildings. The site focuses on how to create a realistic texture using limited materials, and I thought this could help with not only our current texture study and installation assignment, but with models we will have to create throughout the year. Some of the tools used while working with the texture on a piece of foam core are fine wire brushes, paintbrushes without bristles, and exacto knives (all tools most of us have in our boxes!) The artist who created this webpage pays close attention to the details in his pieces, which is something we all should keep in mind when working on our own.
