Instruction will include lessons on photographing your model from multiple viewpoints for reference, and using calipers to take proportional measurements. Investigate facial anatomy, form, proportion, and human expression as you are guided through the process of classical figurative sculpture. Materials, tool usage, craftsmanship, and clay drying and firing will be reviewed.
