The purpose of this workshop is to gain a deeper understanding of the human form through close observation of the live model. Students will learn to record the proportions and unique characteristics of the subject in clay with a focus on naturalistic modeling. The figure will be created on a 32” armature, and students will learn various methods of measuring the figure for proportional accuracy. Emphasis will be placed on developing the disciplines necessary for observing the figure carefully and accurately.

Figure Sculpture • David Simon

Materials fee for armatures and clay - $200

This workshop will approach working from the live model through the prisms of proportional systems as well as direct observation. Working on a 24-30" armature, students will be introduced to various approaches for transposing their observations of the model into sculptural form. This workshop will also cover the correct use of the armature as well as introduce the students to a wide array of both manufactured as well as hand-made modeling tools.
