sculpture. The class will cover all aspects of modeling
an animal figure from clay, including armatures and
support structures, form, basic anatomy, gesture,
movement, and clay modeling technique. Students may
work on the animal of their choice; however, the lessons
will focus on four-legged mammals and primates. To
work together as a class, choosing an animal of one
of these types is strongly encouraged. No experience
or advanced knowledge of sculpture or anatomy is necessary.
This class will be fun, personalized, and a great
way to learn more about wildlife, comparative anatomy,
or create high-quality statuette of a pet. Students
will need a basic set of modeling tools, available
through the school at the first class. |
