CLASSES
- Human Anatomy Through Sculpture
-
Using Elliot Goldfinger's "Human Anatomy for Artists" as a guide, students will sculpt a skeleton over an armature. This will teach the structure of the bones and important landmarks for muscle attachment. Then students will sculpt the musculature system over the skeleton. This is the best way to gain a fundamental knowledge of proportion, structure, and rhythm of the human form.
Armature is included in price of course. Supplies: Clay is $12 per block (need 3 blocks), modeling tools.
