Some common sculpting and modeling materials include:

1. **Clay**: A versatile material available in various types such as water-based clay (e.g., earthenware, stoneware, terracotta) and oil-based clay (e.g., plasteline, polymer clay). Clay is used for sculpting both small and large-scale artworks and can be fired in a kiln for permanence or air-dried for temporary projects.

3. **Sculpting Tools**: Various tools such as wire loop tools, modeling tools, carving tools, wire armatures, and sculpting knives are used to shape, carve, and refine sculptures made from clay or other materials.

4. **Modeling Paste**: A thick, moldable paste used for creating textured surfaces and adding dimension to mixed media artworks. Modeling paste can be applied to canvases, panels, or other surfaces to build up layers and create relief effects.

5. **Plaster of Paris**: A gypsum-based material that sets quickly when mixed with water, plaster of Paris is commonly used for making molds, casting sculptures, and creating relief sculptures.

6. **Paper Mache**: A technique that involves creating sculptures or objects by layering strips of paper or pulp soaked in a paste made from flour and water. Paper mache is lightweight and can be molded into various shapes before drying.

7. **Wire and Armatures**: Metal wire, armature wire, and aluminum foil are used as internal support structures (armatures) for sculptures made from clay or other materials. Armatures provide stability and help prevent the sculpture from collapsing during the sculpting process.

8. **Carving Blocks**: Blocks of materials such as wood, foam, and stone are used for carving sculptures. Each material offers different characteristics and requires specific carving tools and techniques.

These sculpting and modeling materials offer artists a wide range of possibilities for creating sculptures, figurines, reliefs, and other three-dimensional artworks, each with its unique properties and potential for artistic expression.
