Customer Reviews

Great for projects5
When I was introduced to Model Magic, I knew we needed to have some available to our teachers. It is lightweight, easy to use, the colors mix together easily, and does not make a mess. Plus it dries on its own.

Great item - great way to buy it in bulk5
Best way to buy this item. The retail packages of this clay comes in bigger packages - so kids open it and need to use a whole bunch of it before it dries. This ones has tons of small packages - one of each color usually enough to entertain the kids for an hour or more.

excellent gift for students!5
I gave these as gifts to students! They all loved it and I use it when teaching formations of numbers and letters.

We've already used it with our students to make the signs and symbols
of Christmas. The kids really had fun with it.

Magic Modeling Compound 2-lb




Crayola 57-4400 Model Magic Modeling Compound 2-lb. Bucket, White, Four 8-oz. Pouches



Customer Reviews

Excellent "toy" for imagination, creativity, and education!5
This durable, easy-to-use modeling compound is one of the best products on the market for children. Gone are my days of picking up dried pieces of Play-Doh, as this is not at all like Play-Doh, except for the fact that you can mold it. It's very pliable, lightweight, and dries exactly as you leave it without the cracks that Play-Doh is famous for. You can paint on the dried product, so I suggest the white color to keep your child from mixing them all together. I have to admit, I even made some stuff to put on frames, fridge magnets, etc. It's even fun for adults! I highly recommend this product to any parent!

Great tool - esp for artist in the family5
Good for building and molding almost anything. White is particularly useful because you can paint it after you mold it. All my kids (9 yrs, 7yrs and 4yrs) enjoy it, and my 7 yr old uses it in art class.

Garden Sculpture

In the ancient world, the most common garden forms were the household gardens of nobles and the holy gardens associated with a place of worship. Sculpture of divines and kings were positioned in the compounds of places of worship. The Romans transported a large number of statues to Italy and placed them in gardens for decorative purposes. As the Roman Empire underwent a transformation and initiated Christian beliefs, these statues were regarded as non-religious, and removed. However, during the renaissance, these same statues were exhumed and placed once again in gardens. Sculpture became a acknowledged as art and gardens have always been a favored setting for exhibiting outdoor works of art.

Sculptures, whether in the shape of birdbaths or metal art forms are noticeable essentials to enhance a garden’s ambience. Mounting an appealing sculpture at waist or eye level can transform a garden into an exhilarating place. Including a garden sculpture helps set the mood or theme of a garden.

Even a modest garden is a work of art and installing a garden sculpture is a popular way to give a small garden, a bit of aura and mystery. A sculpture in a sunlit open space achieves the status of an exalted spot. It is delightful to find a large garden sculpture serving as the central point or to walk down a garden path and chance upon an unanticipated sculpture placed in a small recess. Many homeowners, while designing their homes, seek classically designed sculptures to be placed in their gardens.

While selecting a sculpture for a garden, a buyer must bear in mind that the artpiece should be able to withstand nature’s ravages during different seasons. The best choice of material for a sculpture with this factor in mind, are bronze and marble. When sculptures are placed in the open, they should be of a material that is durable and bronze fits in with this need.

Some art lovers choose a fairly large sculpture to make it the central piece of attraction in the garden. They place the sculpture in a prominent place so it will attract the attention of every visitor to the garden.

While designing a beautiful garden and the sculpture to go with it, one may enlist the services of specialized garden decorators. Most people who are not connoisseurs of art are inexperienced when it comes to selecting sculptures. A garden-decoration agency helps buyers pick a fine piece of art to match their gardens and at the right price range.
