Through combined exercises in drawing and sculpting from a live model, students will further an understanding of the anatomy of the human figure and learn to render the figure with sensitivity and originality. Students will build a portfolio of drawings and complete a small scale seated figure and a portrait in clay. Individual instruction and critique will occur throughout the course as will periodic demonstrations. Drawing from life will occupy the first third of class time. Figure studies in clay and the portrait in clay will occupy the second and third sections of the semester. Students will create two figure sculptures in materials other than clay, in wire and in mixed media. Lab Fee.
