Class Content:
This introductory class focuses on facial features. Each week you will model in clay a 4-5 inch facial feature: an eye, nose, mouth and ear.
CLASS FORMAT:
The instructor will demonstrate the sculpting technique. You will then copy an existing sculpture. You will develop eye training by observing the three-dimensional forms. Emphasis is on developing an understanding of sculpture language, form and plane. You will familiarize yourself with working in clay and using sculpture tools.
SCULPTURE STUDIES:
This class does not cover detailed anatomical exploration or naming of musculature. The emphasis is on creating a strong sculptural shape by observing the “landmarks” of the face and understanding the relationship between the high and low points of the surface, where the plane changes direction and the angle of the planes.
What to Expect:
Participants will be standing at sculpture through-out the class. Prepare to wear comfortable shoes. Materials provided. We work with a water-based clay that some people find drying on the skin. In this case you may wish to bring some light gardening type gloves or rubber gloves. Most people, however, work with the clay directly.
Picking Up Your Sculptures:
After the classes end, your sculptures will need to dry and be fired in a kiln. The studio will contact you when they are ready to be picked up, normally within a few weeks. If you would like to apply a finish to your fired sculptures, consider registering for the Paint & Finish Session on June 22, 2019. Details on the website: www.vancouversculpture.com.
