and carved until I set him free.”
-- Michelangelo
This course is designed to provide beginning and continuing students
with an intensive introduction to traditional figurative sculpture in
clay and plaster. We will cover the techniques of clay modeling
including shaping and molding, wedging, joining, pinching, coiling and slabbing, building, mark and surface. Our focus will be on the human
figure, molding our clay sculpture directly from a live model in order
to study the human form in its various spatial positions (standing,
sitting, reclining, etc.), with renderings of the head, torso, hands,
and feet. You will become skilled in the techniques of clay modeling,
mold making, plaster casting, armature building from concept to finish. We will follow the process of sculpting in clay, followed by the
construction of plaster molds, which are then filled with wet plaster. Later, the mold is broken off leaving your plaster sculpture. This is a
comprehensive introduction including drawing for sculpture, basic
anatomy, observation, modeling, gesture, proportion, plane, shape,
volume, line, mass, texture, portraiture, the use of calipers,
armatures, mold making, and finishing. You will gain a confident command
of the materials, tools, principles, and elements of traditional
sculpture with an emphasis on creativity. At the end of the 10 weeks,
you will have completed at-least two sculptures while gaining the
knowledge and skills to source and undertake the entire process on your
own.
