Modelling from Life: the Full Figure with Monika Scarrabelotti
Fridays, 26 July to 6 of September (7 weeks)
10.00 am – 4.00 pm
Fees: $695.30 (Earlybird); $770.30 (General)
Learn the principles of modelling the figure in clay! Designed to develop the student’s understanding of the form and structure of the human body, this course will be an intensive life study focusing on human anatomy and observation.
Working from a life model for seven weeks, students will have the opportunity to develop their knowledge of anatomy, the rhythms and movable masses of the body, proportion and language of sculptural form. Students will develop skills in armature building, clay modelling and training of the observational eye.
The first class of this course will feature various poses from the model, allowing participants to create “sketches” in clay. By the second lesson we will settle into a long pose to be worked on for the remaining six weeks. In order to have optimal time with a model, this course will not include mould making and casting. The course is intended as an intensive life study, not to complete a finished “masterpiece”. Students who would like to translate their work into a cast can do so by enrolling in a workshop class at the Tom Bass Studio. Suitable for beginners through to advanced levels, this course will teach the foundations of the classical figure in sculpture.
