10am-1pm
All levels, Teenager to adult
Beginners are welcome but some experience with drawing and anatomy would be helpful
Sculpt the Figure and learn anatomy! We will be using a premade anatomically accurate skeleton as our armature and building muscles, tendons and other anatomical features using plastilina. We will use multiple anatomical references while building our muscles in this guided exercise.
Materials are included in the cost. But it is recommended to wear an apron or something you don't mind getting dirty. Plastelina is an oil based clay that leaves a mild easy to clean residue on the hands and dries to the touch on the sculpture.
