CDAN218 Figurative Clay Construction 3cr

Working in clay, students are introduced to the basic forms of the human body and clay
application as a foundation to begin sculpting the figure. Form relationships, gesture,
movement, human proportions as well as relevant anatomy are discussed and explored as we sculpt
from a live model. Students finish class with two complete pieces ready for kiln firing as well as
a deeper ability to visualize the human body in three dimensions and the foundations for
translating that skill into sculpture, drawing or animation.
