Sculpture
Sculpting Hands & Feet
Hands and feet are complex structures that convey emotion and gesture.
In this class you will work in clay from a live model to gain an understanding of the anatomy and the gestural qualities of these body parts.
Understanding the forms of hands and feet is essential to a successful figure sculpture and also for 2D artists to represent them in a life-like manner in painting, drawing, or character design.
This class is for all levels of experience, whether you are a complete beginner or want to build your skills with focused attention to details.
Individual guidance will be given to each student within a supportive environment.
Clay hand and feet sculptures will be fired at the end of the course so you will have permanent sculptures for display and reference models for future work.
25 lb bag of clay included Clay tools will be available to use during class Other materials needed: Cloth rags (t-shirt material or tea towels) Plastic bags
