IL 2850 - Figurative Sculpture


Credits: 3

In this sophomore-level course students will learn the basic tools, materials, and process for sculpting the human head. From armature to finish, students learn to measure proportions and utilize gesture, volume, and planes, and gain anatomical understanding as they hone their observational skills to create lifelike sculptures in W.E.D. clay. Upon successful completion of this course, students will have learned classical sculpting techniques and will have developed their own creative perception. Students also will have learned to master the technical accuracy of structure, volume, and plane, as well as the subtleties of constructing the human head and figure.

Prerequisites: FD 1380 - Life Drawing II  

Notes: On Campus Only.


Course Learning Outcomes:
  • Demonstrate the basic sculptural practices of three-dimensional structure, plane, anatomical proportion, volume, lighting and gesture.
