Figurative Sculpture this Summer
Instructor: Arlene Zimmerman
Skill Level: All
Class emphasis will be to create in terra cotta sculpture of the human figure. We will work to capture the beauty of line and balance in clay sketches that push us to work quickly and challenge us to really observe the movement, planes, solid shapes and negative space around our subject. We will also work from an extended pose applying sculptural techniques. Sculpture is more than just creating a piece, it is an expression of ourselves, a voice with which to speak. And a creation process where we put soul in our work by expressing our perceptions and feelings. Some tools and material are provided. Casting materials are an extra. The model fee is required unless other arrangements are made and is based on number of students. Independent work by a student is allowed.
