Johanna Schwaiger is a sculptor and art instructor, who has studied many forms of sculpting techniques throughout her career in Austria and Italy. In her instruction, she focuses not only on technique but teaching students how to evoke their own personal sensitivities in developing the forms.
The concept of a beautiful portrait sculpture varies through art history from idealized versions of models, to narrative interpretations, and clean realistic observations of the human form. In this class, students of all levels will be guided through a step-by-step method to build a convincing and solid figurative sculpture from a life model in oil-based clay, in half-life size.
The human form in its complexities is challenging to study and to translate into the multiple viewpoints of a sculpture. You will learn in a simplified manner how to construct a human body from geometrical forms to anatomical structures ,and eventually to the fine and detailed appearance of the model's characteristics. The model's pose always offers a certain gesture and composition that needs to be read in terms of rhythm and continuous lines.
You will train your sense of proportion, deepen your understanding of anatomy, and gain knowledge about composition in a three-dimensional space.
