Learn to sculpt the portrait and capture likeness and personality in clay. Focus on sculpting a full-scale portrait in water clay on a fixed armature while working from a live model. Instruction topics include an introduction to tools and techniques, proportions, structural anatomy and learning to closely observe the nuances of the human face. Each student begins by first massing-in the shape of the skull, and learning to incorporate facial features in relation to this structure. Instruction includes demonstrations, brief lectures and individual feedback throughout the class. By the end of the session, create one portrait from a live model.
