What is an "armature"?
An armature is a supportive framework used in sculpture or other forms of art to help shape and hold the materials in place. It is typically made from materials like wire, wood, or metal and acts as a skeleton or base onto which the artist applies other materials such as clay, plaster, or papier-mâché. The armature provides stability and structure, allowing the artist to build and sculpt more easily, and is often removed or covered after the final piece is finished.
