Working from Life: Portrait & Full Figure with Wendy Black
Tuesdays, 10am to 4pm Tuesday 16 May to Tuesday 27 June
The life study was the foundation of Tom Bass’ teaching. He maintained that it was an invaluable class and was the best way to learn about sculptural form and structure of the human body. This course will be an intensive life study based on close observation of form, proportion and relevant anatomy.
Students will develop a greater understanding of and skills in drawing, armature making, modelling clay and sculptural language. Working from a seated model, students will have the opportunity to choose whether to do the full figure or a portrait.
This course is intended as an intensive study, all our time will be with the model. Casting is not included in this workshop, students who wish to cast their work can do so by enrolling in a regular workshop class at the Tom Bass Sculpture Studio School. If you intend to take your clay home at the end, please bring your own board (30cm x 30 cm, min, 6 ply).
