Duration: One semester
Credits: 2.00
Description: This course will introduce various materials and techniques commonly used for toy design, action figures and sculpting the human form in commercial sculpture studios. The semester begins with the design and drawing of a simple object. With detailed demonstrations, we will convert the drawing to a plasticine clay model and then to a wood sculpture. The course will fabricate a latex mold of the image and make a duplicate cast. A final project inspired by direct observation of the model will be created. Photography of your sculptures will be discussed.
