Expressive Large Scale Figure

Catalog description

You will focus on mid-sized ceramic figurative form. Working from a model, you will design and create large-scale armatures to support 300 pounds of clay. While building up from maquettes to a large-scale finished piece, you will express your understanding of proportion, gesture, and basic anatomical knowledge. These pieces will be unique to you, while developing expressive gestures and fine detailing of surfaces. You will also learn how to properly photograph and pose live models with studio lighting for your personal reference. (This course is cross-listed with FASCU 356.)
