Classes of sculpture and drawing
Classes of sculpture
Combines the creation of three dimensional forms in response to a given theme with an exploration of the properties of materials. These include plaster, wax, clay and wire as well as found materials. Some construction and casting techniques are also covered as well as more experimental processes.
The safe use of a variety of tools, both common and specialist is demonstrated prior to hands on experience. There is a strong emphasis on the relationship between materials, processes and the development of ideas. The course encourages students to develop a practical understanding of how to make objects exist in 3D space.
Classes for figurative drawing and painting
Focuses on responding to and representing the nude human figure in its many forms.
Fast drawing of short poses encourages a response which makes students live the experience, so overcoming shyness and fear of personal expression. Longer poses allow a study of the whole figure as well as sections focusing on detail.
Class exercises may include life sized drawings, collage, tonal studies, contour breakdown, plane intersection and colour in the development of a plastic visual sense.
