\n Join Instructor Jeremy Davis on Thursday afternoons to sc ulpt the portrait from life. Jeremy will guide students to first perfect t he profile\, and then learn to place key landmarks. By training the eye in this way\, the student will see and understand the rhythms\, forms\, and construction of the head\; then work toward achieving a likeness which ref lects the character of the model posing. Throughout the course students wi ll be encouraged to develop their own interpretation of the model through a pose of the head and its expression. All levels welcome.
