Thursday – Sculpting

We were given an introduction to anatomy and the skeletal system of humans in preparation for the semester’s projects. There was also a brief demonstration of repairing hydracal models after their removal from the waste mold.

Excellent drawing of bones and muscles taken from artists’ books on anatomy –

Friday – Life Drawing

We had a model today and the focus was on construction lines, ellipses to build the shape of the body and contour lines as we did gesture drawings and blind contours.
