Live Model Study

(Practical)

 

 

The students will -

CO60: Reflect on their observational skills and memory to be able to construct a figurative sculpture in future classes and life.

 

 

CO61:  Test their understanding of proportions of a human body to presuppose armatures of the required scale.

 

CO62: Simulate character of the live model in clay of models of various characters, to be able to create volume and form of different human figures that will help them construct figurative composition in future.

 

CO63: Experiment with the techniques of measurement and scaling of a life study to achieve proportional correctness in their art works.

 

CO64:  Generate a deeper understanding of each individual muscle and bone structure with respect to the given model to be able to replicate the stance, pose and character of given model.

 

CO65: Cast selected life works in permanent medium while managing and devising techniques of mold making to be able to execute figurative sculptures in permanent medium in future.

 

 

 

Approach in teaching:

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