Making Art With Rock Carving

By Rachael Gutierrez


You are bored and you do not know what to do the entire day. You want to do something that will kill the boredom but you are no fan or reading or watching the same story plot of the movies. Then you saw the beautiful rock formation that is perching at the top of the mountain. Hence, you were enticed to make your art after seeing the art works of rock carving Alberta.

The design should be the first consideration that you must have. This could be anything that your imagination popped in your mind. This could also be seen or came up with after you have seen a rock. It will depend on the structure that you have seen. Better yet, you can have it molded to the clay first and then the details will soon be worked on with.

Then you need to choose which among all the rocks you are going to carve. There are plenty of its kinds and most of them are suitable for the art. However, if you are not so sure about it, then doing a research about the type of rock would do.

Just like the rock, you have to choose the tools too. It will depend on that type of stone that you chose at the beach. You need the hammer, chisel, pitching tool, tracing tool, small grinder, and the sandpaper. In drilling the stone, you should have the driller so to carve the edges or the tips.

And by the way, this is going to be a dangerous job since you will be dealing with the sharp edge tools. In this case, you should keep the appropriate tools in your hands. Or you will find your hands tainted with blood as soon as you finished the work of art made through stone.

Your creativity is the limitation for this. You can apply anything that you want out of the bulky rocks that you have found. You can apply the image on a flat surface. Or better yet, you can have it in a three dimensional. It will depend on that creativity that you go up in your head, inside your skull.

Then, design your stone so that the grain will always run in the length of your carving. In this situation, you have to determine the direction of your grain to achieve your desired piece of sculpture. Always remember that any small detail that you are going to carve can possibly break off the grain.

Also, you may have to research on the proper tools that will be used as soon as the carving process takes place. It is important that you know the dos and don'ts of the tools so that you will keep the sculpture safe. Or you will find yourself redoing the process for the nth time.

And also, you have to take consideration of polishing that rock carving Alberta. This is necessary since there will be grits that will be left after you have chiseled them all. Most likely, they could cut your skin. So to polish the surface, use the dry sandpaper or the wet silicon carbide for that.
