Sculpting the Figure in Motion with Brittany Ryan.
Please join us for a five-day journey in sculpting the human form in motion. We will focus on how to best create a sense of believable movement and weight in your sculpture. We will talk about how to work with a model and the creation of props and supports for the pose. There will be lectures and demonstrations on anatomy, gesture, and composition. We will touch on some historical references and look at some contemporary figurative sculptors who make great use of motion in their work, both as a beautiful form and cultural content.
