This workshop will introduce students to the process and techniques of figurative sculpture. Students will sculpt from a live model over a 5 day period, 40 hours, with an emphasis on gesture, volume, proportions, anatomy, and model likeness. Each student will complete one 24-inch figure in water based clay. The concepts of the golden section and dynamic symmetry will be introduced, along with historical design elements and the discovery of anatomical rhythms. 

Throughout this workshop, students will be guided by instructor led demonstrations and individual and group critiques, which integrate authentic ancient Greek and 19th-century figurative sculpture principles. Complementing the class, are discussions about the phenomenological approach to observing figures through clay.
