Thursday Sculpting Class


No sculpting class this week. These days we are working on a project that requires knowledge of the human body so I went to Science City and bought a model skeleton – unfortunately they were out of musculature charts.

Friday Life Drawing Class

Two classes combined and with no model showing up for either class, the teachers modeled for gesture and for contour drawings.
