3DSC235 - 01 - Portraiture

A sculptural study of the elements and practice of portraiture. Students will begin with a life-size anatomical study of the human head in clay from a model. The remainder of the semester will be devoted to the creation of portraits, possibly in clay and possibly in other materials, and the development of an individual form language. Throughout the class we will be examining aspects of various styles of portraiture from different eras and considering the requirements of the genre.
