There are few artistic pursuits more rewarding than creating a successful portrait bust. Join sculptor Marty Davis as he explains the elements of successful portraiture, and demonstrates the techniques of sculpting an accurate likeness. Topics include the anatomy of the skull and neck, the proportion and placement of the features, and how to generate and refine a convincing likeness. Students will create two portrait busts over eight weeks, one male and one female. No experience with sculpture necessary—this is a good class for those who are interested in improving their portrait painting and drawing, too!
This class is for all skill levels.
MATERIALS: Materials will be discussed at the first class.
