COURSE OBJECTIVES:

The course will enable the students to-

  1. Develop understanding of the bones and muscle structure of Human limbs.
  2. Position a live model’s limbs in their desired composition and be able to recreate the composition in clay.
  3. Understand the working of the limbs - their movement, position, texture and proportions
  4. Analyze and execute in clay various types of hands and feet - male, female, old, young etc.

Study in Clay

(Practical)

 

The students will-

CO87: Identify basic skills of sculpting from the live model to improve their deep observation skills.

 

CO88: Keen examination of form through measurement, massing, volume and rendering through value to construct exact anatomical sculptures.

 

CO89:  Identify the bone structure and muscle distribution of limbs to predict the armature and volume of clay to be added on the sculpture.

 

CO90: develop skills of proportion to measure size, shape and position of limbs in various movements to analyse the way human body moves and changes positions.

.

CO91: Examine the various textures of limbs like skin, wrinkles, nails, veins etc to learn to replicate textures in clay.

 

CO92: Scale up or down the measurements of the model to experiment with various sizes of sculptures for future references.

 

CO93: Review their skills of making human limbs by experimenting with various models, young and old, male and female to build a database of knowledge for future use in their sculptures.
