Class Description

Description

Relief Sculpture, or Bas Relief,  should be on every sculptor's inventory of skills. This exciting course will allow the student to work with confidence and critical thinking. We will examine how basic drawing skills of perspective, light, shadow, convexity, help to play a part in the construction and design of your Bar, (low) Relief incorporating the fundamentals is sculpture.

Working in Clay, the student will learn how to construct the clay "canvas", then sculpt, either from imagination, a portrait photo, figure, abstract, or their unique narrative. The finished work will be then kiln fired, (nominal fee). Later courses will deal with the creation of a plaster cast and cold Patination of your work.  

No supplies are needed for the first class.
