Movable Clay Sculpture
Students working on their sculptures at Anderson Ranch
Students will design and construct ceramic sculptures with movable parts and a personal twist. Historical and contemporary ceramic figurative sculptures will be used as examples to stimulate class discussion. Participants will be encouraged to think outside the box, to avoid relying on popular media to inform their individual response. A variety of hand-building techniques will include slab construction, coiling, pinching, carving, and texture impressions. Students will explore personal imagery, scale, color and theme. In addition to clay, sketches and other media will aid in the design and construction of the one-of-a-kind sculptures.
July 28 – August 1, 2008
