Course of sculptural portrait from a photograph
Course objectives
Aquest curs se centrarà en construir un retrat en tres dimensions, usant terra refractària. Al procés d’aprenentatge durant la construcció se sumarà l’exercici de l’observació, capacitat que ens permetrà ser acurats amb les proporcions i aconseguir el màxim grau de similitud entre el model i l’escultura.
Una vegada acabat el modelatge realitzarem el buidatge de l’escultura, per a ajudar al seu assecat i per a preveure una posterior cocció de la figura en el forn ceràmic.
