CDAN218 - 01 - Figurative Clay Construction

Working in clay, students are introduced to the basic forms of the human body and clay application as a foundation to begin sculpting the figure. Form relationships, gesture, movement, human proportions as well as relevant anatomy are discussed and explored as we sculpt from a live model. Students finish class with two complete pieces ready for kiln firing as well as a deeper ability to visualize the human body in three dimensions and the foundations for translating that skill into sculpture, drawing or animation.
