This workshop will focus on methods of creating life scale figures in
clay. Students will experience a variety of mold-making processes
including working with alginate castings, plaster life-casts, and rubber
press-molds. Life casting methods for creating plaster molds and models
of the human head and hands will be taught. A survey of visual images
showing how artists use the human figure as a narrative vehicle will be
presented. Historical approaches will be blended with contemporary genre
i.e. the doll, the mannequin, figurine and statuary will be explored.
Installation- oriented figure sculpture and figures in context will be
discussed.
