Figure Modelling
Modelling the head
"The Portrait"
This course offers the opportunity for a close study of the head, with a number of models at your disposal. On the first day we will devote some time to the study of postures and proportions, and to the technical preparations of the armature (supporting structure). The aim is to produce a life-like portrait study.
Building a hollow human figure with clay
Starting with the idea of an intended posture and its associated body shape we will build a hollow figure (approx. 1 metre in height) with the possibility of firing it. The work material is rough-textured clay.
Nude modelling l
We will study the dimensions and proportions of the human body. One's own working experience with the basic proportions will help to create models of clay with confidence, and it will make working with a live model easier.
Nude modelling II
On this course the basics of modelling, relating specifically to the nude, will be taught. The main aim of the course is the study of the proportions and expressive forms of the human figure, its forms, functions and movements.
