Sculpting the Human Portrait
This class taught by working sculptor Eduardo Gomez is a step-by-step demonstration of the techniques involved in sculpting the human head in water-based clay. Under the individualized guidance of the instructor, each student will produce with two pieces: an ecorche of the human head and neck the first 3 weeks, and a nuanced portrait of a model for 5 weeks of the 8 week class. Students will be expected to work from photographs. If possible, each student should have the following 5 images of their models printed on 81/2 x 11 sheets: straight front; back, left, and right profile; and top of head. Basic anatomy of the head and anatomical proportions, and anatomical issues related to aging and race and facial expressions will be covered. Students will also learn how to use the shape and the planes of the face to obtain a general likeness such as the nose, lips, ears, and eyes. How to prepare the pieces for firing or molding and different mounting options will be discussed.
Clay for virtual sculpture classes must be provided from your own supplies or purchased separately - our School of Art Supply Store has clay available for $32.10 for porcelain and $26.75 for all other clays, tax included in price.
All levels are welcome. More advanced students are welcome to work on an independent project with the guidance of the instructor. Teaching priority will be given to beginning students.

Sculpting the Human Figure
The class is taught by working sculptor Eduardo Gomez. Sculpting from an undraped live model, students will learn the principles of sculpting a human figure in water-based clay. We will discuss various cannons of human proportions. We will discuss body planes, as well as some basic design concepts used in sculpture. The main idea is to help train the eye to learn to see the nuances of the figure. The students will also learn how to prepare the sculpture for firing.
The class includes a 25-pound bag of water-based clay, as well as the firing of the student’s pieces.
Level of student: It is recommended that the students have a previous sculpture class and have some experience sculpting in clay. This class is a beginning figure sculpture class, but is open to more advanced students who may want to work on an independent project guided by the instructor.

Sculpting the Draped Figure
The class is taught by working sculptor Eduardo Gomez. In this intermediate class, the students will be sculpting from a live model, with a concentration on draping by analyzing the effect of body position and movement on clothing. We will study different types of clothing and how they fold, and make quick studies of different types of folds. The main focus is understanding the dynamics of different types of clothing. The class includes a 25-pound bag of water-based clay, as well as the firing of the student’s pieces.
Intermediate Level. A previous basic sculpture course is suggested.

Whimsical Sculpture
