| Description |
The focus of this course will emphasize an approach to the human form by way of three-dimensional modeling. Working from the live model, students will sculpt a 24-inch standing figure. Individual instruction will be given, as well as teaching demonstrations and illustrations, allowing students to acquire anatomical clarity and accurate proportions, form relationships in rhythm symmetry, and focus on characteristics of the specific model type. Attention to each students’ creative needs will be given. All levels welcome.

Note: The pose for this class is the classic and beautiful pose executed by Michelangelo in the figure of "Dawn" in his Tomb for Lorenzo D'Medici. A group of students will be continuing this pose (from a previous class) in the hopes of bringing it to a higher level of completion. New students will naturally begin the pose from the armature along with the instructor. This is an excellent and rare opportunity to not only do a classic pose, but to be in a class with instruction in both beginning and finishing stages being taught simultaneously.
