SCLP 2220 - Figure Sculpture - Part I (Lyme Academy)

Prerequisite: SCLP 1155. Sculpture majors must earn a minimum grade of C- in this course to receive credit within their major. May be taken by juniors and seniors on a space-available basis to count toward fulfilling the Figure Sculpture requirement. This course is part of a two-semester sequence which provides a structured transition from Sculpture I, offering a systematic method and further development of modeling, casting, and finishing techniques. Demonstrations are given on constructing the whole figure and details. Proportions, modeling techniques, and anatomy are explored with emphasis on gesture and composition. Once the student has constructed a basic figure, various finishing techniques are discussed. The work of noteworthy sculptors from the past and present will be addressed, exploring the many methodologies used for sculpting the human form. 3 credits.
