Lifeclass for Sculpture with the Model

Exploring the human form is a constant source of wonder and no two poses are ever the same, such is the never ending dynamic of the body!

In this course you will learn to see by observing form, proportional values, depth, rhythm and structure. We begin with armature building which is the structure that lies beneath the form and from there we will develop our sculptures through modelling using clay, plasticine and wax. You will learn about waste moulding and repeat moulding systems.

The model will stay for 6 weeks and in the final 4 weeks we will be finishing and casting.

Please note: we do not have a life model for term 4 as participants are generally using these sessions for finishing and casting for our end of year exhibition in January 11th-13th 2019 held at Avalon Recreation Centre.

If you are new to this session and would like to get started, you are welcome to begin on a figurative sculpture from images supplied by the tutor for Term 4.
