Sidney Nolan's "Carcass" (1954) was made using synthetic polymer paint on composition board. The process of this work would have involved many steps. At first actual sketching from a dead carcass would have been required. The smooth yet bold background would have been done and preliminary sketching of the carcass would have been done onto the compostition board. Next layers of detail would have been carefully painted, whilst sticking to the same earthy colour scheme. Strong engergetic lines have been used create a sense of the struggle the animal may have endured to further confront the audience .
Patricia Piccinini's "Undivided" (2005) was composed using Silicone, fibreglass, human hair, teddy, bed and linen. Her Postmodern installation work breaks through the traditional notions of what art is and encourages the audience to become part of the work. At first preliminary sketches of her intended plan of her work would be done on paper, then computer software would have been used to reinforce her design. However, like some other postmodern artists, Patricia Piccinini did not fully physically create the work herself, rather it is an collaborative effort. fibreglass would have been used to create the mould for the figures and silicon would have been used to create the skin like texture. Next human hair would be carefully stuck on and the props would have been assembled together with the figures.
