Topics in Sculture: The Figure

• Course Number: ART-UE 1231
• Hours: 60
• Units: 3
• Description: The figure is analyzed as sculptural expression - how it is conceived & developed, as well as its relation to history & contemporary thought. Using a model, students explore individual perceptions & classical principals of proportion, volume, structure and anatomy by creating a portrait bust, a seated figure, & a standing figure. The tactile nature of clay will facilitate eye/hand skills, & opportunities to explore carving, firing, & coloring the surface. The sculptural experience will be enhanced by class critiques, gallery & museum excursions.
