COURSE OBJECTIVES:

The course will enable the students to-

  1. Be able to replicate human anatomy observing a live model.
  2. Understand the importance of armatures and presuppose the alignment of the structure.
  3. Illustrate the human body’s movement, rhythm and postures.

Life Study (clay modeling)

(Practical)

 

The students will-

 

CO187: Plan to position a live model in complex poses sketching out their anatomy on a 2D surface to get confirm idea of what they have to make in 3D.

 

CO188: Develop understanding of human proportions with respect to its head as a unit so as to construct a proper armature according to the live model.

 

CO189: Moderate the application techniques of clay on a well-built armature in a way that structure, proportion etc. can be replicated from a given live reference so that the students’ observation of human body increases multiple folds.

 

CO190: Measure the proportions of live model to be able to scale up or scale down the measurements according to their size of the sculpture.

 

CO191: Apply clay in accordance to the muscles of the body memorizing each important muscles in the body part so that they can later twist and turn these muscles, resizing body according to their aesthetic.

 

CO192: Plan and execute cast and mold of a full life to solve in real time the complexities and difficulties faced during the process.

Approach in teaching:

Interactive Lectures, Discussion on composition subjects, Tutorials, Videos, Demonstration, Reading assignments.
