There may be the option to fire and glaze completed works.
You will be working in MAC’s fully equipped sculpture studio with buff, terracotta and crank clays. You will be encouraged to experiment and explore different approaches that will help you to find your own artistic methods and style. There will be more emphasis on this course on developing your observational skills and translating these into more personal representations of the human form, moving away from making a direct copy of the model.
You will have the opportunity to model in clay from a nude life model who may hold several poses over the course duration allowing you to create for more than one sculpture. This course is for students who will learn sculpting the human form in clay, and develop your own artistic style and technique. Working directly from a life model, explore traditional and contemporary ways to sculpt the human figure in clay.
