the Life Model, or Antique, or Modern Sculpture Plaster Figure, or Anatomical
Model in the pose each session for three and one half hours. OR Three hour
sessions ( evening time ), with the Life Model, or Antique, or Modern Sculpture
Plaster Figure, or Anatomical Model in one pose, two and one half hours, –
early evening /night sessions. The same pose, and intended Life Model, or Antique,
or Modern Sculpture Plaster Figure, or Anatomical Model will be utilized several
class sessions, to more extended projects within the 13 meeting time frame.
There will be a one half hour to one-hour ( day ), OR one half hour ( night )
review for the class after life model each session, making a total of four
hours – ( day ), OR three hours -( night ). Additional optional limited
workshop time is available without life model, to work on the relief from
Antique Sculpture Plaster Figure / Portrait Bust, or Anatomical Model. Limited
optional workshop time is available each week depending on the class, and
particular week. Limited optional workshop time is included in the class price.
Students will focus on bone landmarks and major muscle groups while working to
capture the action of the pose and characteristics of the model. Overall forms
will be blocked in through observation of shapes, rhythms and interconnecting
commensurate planes, leading to a simplified yet integrated relief sculpture,
defining sculptural content, and sketch composition. This course will establish
how to develop a relief sculpture from a shape orientation method, as opposed
to copying shadows, and light, which are not dependable factors in representing
content.

Participants are responsible for their own materials. Easel, (An
alternative to using an easel is to hold a board at the portion on ones legs
where they meet the torso, while seated in a chair. The board will then need to
be taller than the paper in order to draw at the lower paper portion, away from
ones torso, and legs. A thinner thickness Baltic Birch plywood (Baltic Birch
hardwood plywood comes in a number of metric thickness size choice) is a good
alternative to a heavy fir plywood if the board is going to sit on ones legs
for hours, also less likely to warp over time compared to standard plywood,
especially if polyurethaned as well. Paper size should fit well within the
outer border of the drawing board, but allow metal clips to hold the outer
paper inch or two. Vine Charcoal (Willow Charcoal) thin straight sticks, Condensed
/ compressed Charcoal square sticks in a case (Charkole) for applying a tone to
a good grade single sheet charcoal white paper, kneaded eraser, a light weight
mall stick - straight - for sighting angles, a thin leather artist natural
chamois, sandpaper stack on a rectangular flat stick -at art stores, etc... is
some of the drawing material used as supplied by participants of the class, and
additional drawing material supplies for preparatory relief drawing, sculpture
tools, sculpture relief armatures, and plasteline are supplied by the
participants joining the class course. Counter sunk screws are required on the
underside of the figure armature plywood – as well as a smooth surface on the
side of the A/C, or A/B exterior plywood board placed on the wheeled sculpture
stands. Wheeled Stands are available for the relief sculpture armature to sit
on top of while working the sculpture, but for the relief sculpture, an easel
of enough strength to support the clay weight, supplied by each student while
attending the course might be preferable. Relief sculpture armatures will be
built in the first and possibly second meeting as a free benefit to those
enrolled and paid for the relief sculpture class – prior to the 13 sessions as
paid classes. Another option would be students constructing their own relief
armature ahead of the class course, on an approved armature design. There are
several options on how to build a relief armature depending on the budget
allowed by each student. Plywood pieces need to be cut to specific dimensions
prior to arriving to build, put together the armature. There are commercial
lumber yards with wood shops that can cut the plywood pieces. Information, /
supply list, / instructions on a well-designed, and constructed portrait,
figure, or relief sculpture armature is available by request from Brad Parker.
Plastelene should be used as the clay material, not water clay since water clay
produces an enormous amount of dust, and debris – so no water clay is allowed
for use in the studio here. Chavant NSP, Soft, Red Brown – Non Sulfur
Plastelene is the better product of the various plastelenes. Please request a
supply list.
This course consist of four-hour
sessions ( day time ), OR three hour sessions ( evening time ), with the life
model in one pose (life model in pose for three and one half hours day / OR /
life model in pose for two and one half hours during evening sessions each
class session ) for the duration of the 13 meetings. The life model, or
alternative model in sculpture maintains the same pose for one, to multiple
sessions within the 13 meetings There will be a one half hour to one-hour ( day
), OR one half hour ( night ) review for the class after life model each
session, making a total of four hours – ( day ), OR three hours -( night ).
Additional limited optional workshop time is available without the life model,
to work on the class preparatory drawing, or relief sculpture from the
sculpture model. Limited optional workshop time is coordinated as a specific
time slot each week depending on the class, and it is not an option to
reschedule a missed optional workshop. Limited optional workshop time is
included in the class price. Parking is free, there is plenty of space
available for the model and students to park on the Square, as well as
additional parking behind the townhouse in a private parking area.

After the completion of the preparation of the plywood boards, the board is brought to the free armature building class with plumbing pipe supplies, aluminum alloy sculpture wire rolls, flat head machine bolts, etc…, as detailed in the requested supply list. Additionally, Sculpture tools, and Chavant NSP Non-Sulfur, Soft Brown Plasteline are supplied by each student for their sculpture project, also detailed in the requested supply list.

PORTRAIT BUST RELIEF SCULPTURE
COURSE
-
This course consists of 13 four-hour
sessions ( day time ), with the Life Model, or Antique, or Modern Sculpture
Plaster Portrait Bust, or Anatomical Model in the pose each session for three
and one half hours. OR Three hour sessions ( evening time ), with the Life
Model, or Antique, or Modern Sculpture Plaster Portrait Bust, or Anatomical
Model in one pose, two and one half hours, – early evening /night sessions. The
same pose, and intended Life Model, or Antique, or Modern Sculpture Plaster
Portrait Bust, or Anatomical Model will be utilized several class sessions, to more
extended projects within the 13 meeting time frame. There will be a one half
hour to one-hour ( day ), OR one half hour ( night ) review for the class after
life model each session, making a total of four hours – ( day ), OR three hours
-( night ). Additional optional limited workshop time is available without life
model, to work on the relief from Antique, or Modern Sculpture Plaster Portrait
Bust, or Anatomical Model. Limited optional workshop time is available each
week depending on the class, and particular week. Limited optional workshop
time is included in the class price. Students will focus on bone landmarks and
major muscle groups while working to capture the action of the pose and
characteristics of the model. Overall forms will be blocked in through
observation of shapes, rhythms and interconnecting commensurate planes, leading
to a simplified yet integrated relief sculpture, defining sculptural content,
and sketch composition. This course will establish how to develop a relief
sculpture from a shape orientation method, as opposed to copying shadows, and
light, which are not dependable factors in representing content.
-
$ 1200.00 for 13 sessions – Day-
four hour each class.
-
$ 990.00 for 13 sessions – Eve. –
three hour each class.
Participants are responsible for their own materials. Easel, (An
alternative to using an easel is to hold a board at the portion on ones legs
where they meet the torso, while seated in a chair. The board will then need to
be taller than the paper in order to draw at the lower paper portion, away from
ones torso, and legs. A thinner thickness Baltic Birch plywood (Baltic Birch
hardwood plywood comes in a number of metric thickness size choice) is a good
alternative to a heavy fir plywood if the board is going to sit on ones legs
for hours, also less likely to warp over time compared to standard plywood,
especially if polyurethaned as well. Paper size should fit well within the
outer border of the drawing board, but allow metal clips to hold the outer
paper inch or two. Vine Charcoal (Willow Charcoal) thin straight sticks,
Condensed / compressed Charcoal square sticks in a case (Charkole) for applying
a tone to a good grade single sheet charcoal white paper, kneaded eraser, a
light weight mall stick - straight - for sighting angles, a thin leather artist
natural chamois, sandpaper stack on a rectangular flat stick -at art stores,
etc... is some of the drawing material used as supplied by participants of the
class, and additional drawing material supplies for preparatory relief drawing,
sculpture tools, sculpture relief armatures, and plasteline are supplied by the
participants joining the class course. Counter sunk screws are required on the
underside of the figure armature plywood – as well as a smooth surface on the
side of the A/C, or A/B exterior plywood board placed on the wheeled sculpture
stands. Wheeled Stands are available for the relief sculpture armature to sit
on top of while working the sculpture, but for the relief sculpture, an easel
of enough strength to support the clay weight, supplied by each student while
attending the course might be preferable. Relief sculpture armatures will be
built in the first and possibly second meeting as a free benefit to those
enrolled and paid for the relief sculpture class – prior to the 13 sessions as
paid classes. Another option would be students constructing their own relief
armature ahead of the class course, on an approved armature design. There are
several options on how to build a relief armature depending on the budget
allowed by each student. Plywood pieces need to be cut to specific dimensions
prior to arriving to build, put together the armature. There are commercial
lumber yards with wood shops that can cut the plywood pieces. Information, /
supply list, / instructions on a well-designed, and constructed portrait,
figure, or relief sculpture armature is available by request from Brad Parker.
Plastelene should be used as the clay material, not water clay since water clay
produces an enormous amount of dust, and debris – so no water clay is allowed
for use in the studio here. Chavant NSP, Soft, Red Brown – Non Sulfur
Plastelene is the better product of the various plastelenes. Please request a
supply list.
This course consist of four-hour
sessions ( day time ), OR three hour sessions ( evening time ), with the life
model in one pose (life model in pose for three and one half hours day / OR /
life model in pose for two and one half hours during evening sessions each
class session ) for the duration of the 13 meetings. The life model, or
alternative model in sculpture maintains the same pose for one, to multiple
sessions within the 13 meetings There will be a one half hour to one-hour ( day
), OR one half hour ( night ) review for the class after life model each session,
making a total of four hours – ( day ), OR three hours -( night ). Additional
limited optional workshop time is available without the life model, to work on
the class preparatory drawing, or relief sculpture from the sculpture model. Limited
optional workshop time is coordinated as a specific time slot each week
depending on the class, and it is not an option to reschedule a missed optional
workshop. Limited optional workshop time is included in the class price.
Parking is free, there is plenty of space available for the model and students
to park on the Square, as well as additional parking behind the townhouse in a
