Class Description: |
Details |
|
The World of imagination is
limited only by one's lack of imagination. In this class, students
will be encouraged to imagine a world of characters that is uniquely
their own.
The week will be spent
concentrating on things mythical and magical, with an emphasis on
creating clay characters and accessories that fit together to create a
one-of-a-kind story scene.
Techniques learned will be figure-sculpting skills, including draping
the clay and sculpting from solid clay, positioning that implies
movement, mixing clay to create a color scheme, and realistic
accessories.
Each student will form a general plan on Monday morning as to what they
would like to accomplish and learn during the week. Then each will
proceed at his or her own speed. Group instruction will be given
as needed.
This class format will accommodate various interests and skill levels..

including clay for skin if you intend to make people. You will
probably need enough clay to make 4 to 8 characters, animals or
