- The last blank names the technique that defeats prior expectation.
Show the answer
A sculpture must resolve from every view, which is why studios mount work on a banding wheel. Proportion is handled by choosing a unit and stating everything else as a multiple of it. Looking at the shapes of the gaps rather than the object is working from negative space.
The four terms are the practical kit of the lesson. Note that the banding wheel is not a convenience: if the work does not turn, it will be judged from one position and will be unresolved everywhere else.

- Why does adding surface detail before the structure is settled cost a modeller time?
- Sort each activity by the stage of modelling it belongs to.
- Working from negative space helps because the gaps are simpler shapes than the object itself.
