Sculpting the Figure - In-Person Class

Sculpting the Figure: Techniques of the Masters In-Person

Colin Dawson | Spring I | Saturdays: Jan 09 - Dec 12

Class Description:

At the core of figurative sculpture is observation.

In this course you will first learn to see how a sculptor sees. You will work with live models and discover the gesture, rhythm, and form that make a masterful work. You will turn your observation inwards as you learn the basic principles of human anatomy and unlock secrets hiding just under the skin. You will learn what tools and techniques the masters used to bring their visions to life and how you can turn your hands into vehicles of expression.
