This course will focus on consolidating the basics of sculpture: firstly learning how to build up forms using planes and structure, and secondly mastering the carving technique. A nude model (male or female) will be posing for the class for at least 4 sessions, so if for any reason whatsoever this is problematic, the student is advised not to take the class. Proportions, measurements and axis will be discussed in detail, and numerous reviews of individual work will take place throughout the semester. The class will then focus on personal expression by creating from imagination, abstraction and figuration, and by developing an understanding of how to conceive and compose forms in space. The course will emphasize the different techniques not involving an armature. The main material used for sculpture will be clay. We will also study both Henry Moore and his approach to monumental sculpture and Alberto Giacometti’s creative world. A few excursions will be organized to museums. During these visits students will draw on sketch books with pencils or “sanguine” (red chalk).
