Two sessions:
August 31 to September 5, 2020 and September 7 to September 12, 2020
Location: Brian Booth Craig Studios in Pennsylvania
These intensive six-day courses will focus on creating a figure in a dynamic pose. Each six-day course will use a different pose. Students can sign up for one or both workshops. Emphasis will be placed upon the systematic study of proportions, basic anatomy, composition, and gesture. These courses are also designed to give students a greater understanding and appreciation for the variety of sculptural practices that employ the human form. In addition to modeling the figure from life, these courses will include lectures, presentations, discussions, and demonstrations. Students will work directly from a model to create a 1/3 scale figure in plastiline over an aluminum armature over a total of six studio days with a live model, six hours per day. There will also be evening lectures and demos, plus open studio hours. Space is limited!
Each course will have a maximum of 8 students. This will enable greater individual instruction, and also permit the appropriate 6 foot distancing required for safety from COVID-19. Students will be required to wear masks during class for additional protection. Please note that if the course is canceled due to COVID-19, all course fees will be refunded, minus credit card transaction fees.
