| FA352: Figure Sculpture III (anatomy) |
|
Serious students of the figure pursue rigorous anatomical knowledge and heightened skills of observation. The first eight weeks are devoted to a 1/2 scale full figure over welded armature. Working from a live model and research, the student will accurately progress from a weight-bearing analysis of the skeleton, to build up layers of muscle and tissue. Life size studies of hands and feet promote detailed understanding. Portraiture, introduced by a series of facial expression exercises, continues the sustained involvement. Self -portraiture will be used as a vehicle for exploring ones own nature as an artist. Field trips, presentations and research amplify studio inquiry. Critiques measure progress.
