Sculpture - Building Forms in Clay

UPDATED 20150414 13:17:40

In this course you will explore the possibilities and limitations of clay: terracotta/white/crank/mixed body. You will do this through a variety of structured exercises based on direct observation from the life model. These will incorporate timed work (short poses), constructing/building in clay, anatomical studies (hands & feet) and working on longer poses over a period of weeks. You will gain a basic understanding of how to render proportion and will learn how to apply perspective. We will look at the revealing effects of light on surface texture (form) and how to convey a sense of movement, tension and emotional depth in the clay figure. Later on in the course, students will be encouraged to apply their acquired knowledge into producing an ongoing body of sculptural work based on their own ideas. You will learn to prepare clay work for firing and to select appropriate tools. Your work will be regularly analyzed and discussed with both your tutor and in a group environment. This course aims to encourage students to develop a confident individual response to their subject matter.
