Laminated Woodcarving
Laminated woodcarving is where you carve laminated wood into a sculpture or form with the use of different tools and equipment. For this project we were allowed to carve and make anything we want. I chose a minion from the movie Despicable Me. A minion is a character in the movie that is yellow, cylinder-shaped and small. First, I measured to the correct measurements of each block of wood then glued 3 pieces of the wood together. I then sketched my picture on my sketchbook and the wood itself. I carved the corners and lines to achieve the oval and cylinder shape of the minion. Second came the body by carving it down so that the goggles and clothes pop out. Inside the goggles, I also carved it down one level for the eye. After all the carving is done, I painted the body with yellow paint. I painted the clothes red and white to make it look like a soccer player/referee.
