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.
