Portrait Sculpture

Using a process-based technique you will learn to take measurements from a model and begin to construct a 3 dimensional head out of clay. Through controlled observation you will explore elements of the human anatomy to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying construction of the human form. You will consider both aesthetic and systematic approaches to modelling and manipulating with clay as you strengthen your skills in accuracy and proportion.

Course Outcomes
You will have created your own carefully observed and lifelike portrait sculpture from clay. You will have developed your anatomical knowledge and gained confidence and in applying your observational skills to the processes of portrait sculpture.

Who Should Attend
Anyone wishing to improve their observational skills, whether you are working professionally in a related field; or, looking to enhance your portfolio to pursue studies or a career within sculpture, special effects, theatre or screen?
