Modeling With Clay

Since the beginning of human existence, we've had this desire to create art to express ourselves, our ancestors grabbed simple mud and shaped it into figures of man, animals, and cultural lore. To this day, we still use sculpture to tell stories, commemorate our idols, and to represent our most important ideals and concepts. From The Statue of Liberty to the Terracotta Army of Qin Emperor, it's very undeniable that sculpture as an art form is very intrinsically intertwined with our history and our beliefs. We invite you to participate in this long-practiced tradition and give life into something that represents YOU and was made with your own two hands from scratch. Modeling with clay is fun and therapeutic, and it allows you to turn your imagination into three-dimensional reality. In our class we will study the human anatomical form, color theory, texture, proportion, movement, and develop techniques to achieve a realistic modeling style.
