Have you ever looked at a sculpture and wondered, “How did the artist do that?” Students will learn how to create a likeness in clay using a live model. As they sculpt, students will explore ways of creating a variety of expressions and moods. There will be demonstrations, including how to capture expression. There will be additional demonstrations on finishing your sculpture and applying cold patinas on fired clay and simple mold making.
