Over 5 days, this hands-on practical course will examine the forms of the face in both 2- and 3-dimensions through drawing, painting and sculpture. Students will be guided in understanding the visual aspects of the face and will have the opportunity to explore the creative aspects of sculpting a head from clay. The course is suitable for teachers and advanced artists as well as beginners.sculptured heads
