How to make a high relief from different materials? It is very simple

Now, hand-made products are becoming increasingly popular. Do it yourself interior decoration . Using available materials and simple technologies, you can easily make interesting souvenirs and jewelry with your own hands. Such a thing as a high relief looks great - this is one of the types of relief, which is characterized by a large volume of protruding image elements. It is made of plasticine, gypsum, paper, using the technique of woodcarving.

Plasticine or mass for modeling

This is the easiest option, which is suitable for children's creativity. To create a beautiful souvenir you will need the following:

• plasticine;
• stack;
• the basis.

High relief is a semi-volume image on the plane of an object. For plasticine, plywood and a complex rounded shape, for example, a vase, a glass, a box, are suitable.

You can take the mass for modeling or plasticine - the usual children's color or sculptural plain. Remember that the latter is harder. Sculpting from it is not easy, especially for a child. It is better to cut it with a knife or a plastic stack. For children's creativity, take bright colors. As a first experience, try making a bas-relief. If you need to convey any element as fully and voluminously as possible, it is worth using a high relief. This is the most suitable option. It is easier to make than a volumetric sculpture, and in terms of effectiveness it is not inferior to a three-dimensional object.

Paper souvenirs

Both bas-relief and high relief are easily made from this simple material. Various methods of bending the sheet, gluing the parts are used, that is, a volume application is obtained . Works from monophonic design paper and from colored sheets of pastel or bright colors look interesting. It all depends on the purpose of the executing object.

Decorative wood products

Any variant of the relief can be made using thread technology. Perform it and gypsum, and special solid masses, but the easiest way to use wood. They make decorative cutting boards, panels and other household items and decorations for the interior: stools, chairs, tables, shelves, wooden spoons, mugs, vases, chests.

Interior decoration made of plaster

High relief and bas-relief are used for decorative purposes when decorating household items, interior, architecture. You can make such a decor with your own hands. You will need the following materials:

• dry gypsum, alabaster, cement or plaster;
• plywood;
• Reiki
• polyethylene film;
• container and stick for preparing the composition;
• tile adhesive.

The work is done like this:

1. From plywood and slats you make a mold for pouring the base. Better to choose a square or rectangle.
2. Line the resulting wooden “box” with plastic wrap. Well, if there is a greenhouse. It gives a smooth surface to the plate, as it does not fold.
3. Mix gypsum or other mass that you have chosen with water. Bring to the consistency of sour cream. It should not be too thick, as it will need to be poured. A too liquid mixture will set for a long time, and the object will be less durable. In the case of a high relief, it is better to strengthen the plate with metal reinforcement. Pour the suspension into the mold.
4. Wait until the tile has hardened, but not completely. In the case of gypsum, it will take about half an hour. Cement hardens longer, but in any case no more than 12 hours. Otherwise, subsequent layers will not connect well with the substrate.
5. Flip the shape. Take out the stove.
6. On a smooth surface, apply a pre-prepared drawing, for example, draw on a stencil with a marker or scratch the contours with a sharp object.
7. Begin to gradually add layers of the three-dimensional image. For starters, it is better to make protruding parts of small height.
8. After the final hardening of the finished work, treat the surface with sandpaper and strengthen the decor on the wall with tile glue.
   

If you have already mastered the bas-relief technique, start making a high relief. This is a more interesting way to transfer objects. The manufacturing technology is the same as described above, only the penultimate stage will be more complicated and take longer. After all, volume parts will have to be done in more than one step. It is the height of the protruding elements that distinguishes the high relief. Photos clearly demonstrate this.

So, you have learned what a high relief is and how you can make it yourself. Choose your favorite technique and start the fascinating creative process of creating a souvenir with your own hands.
