Sculpture: the Body and its Language (IN-PERSON) w

Sculpture: the Body and its Language (IN-PERSON) with Leonid Lerman begins next week! Enroll today via the link in bio to join this Sculpture Master Class and experience full-time study at the New York Studio School alongside MFA and Certificate students.

This course will focus on making use of the figure and is aimed to help students understand the structure of the human figure through direct observation and conversion of perceptual information into a “language of sculpture.” The goal is to cultivate the skills of a young artist in order to create an “image,” based on “timeless confrontation with a present moment.” (–T. McEvilley).

Course Dates:
September 24th – December 10th, 2020
Thursdays, 2pm – 6pm

VIRTUAL Monday Evening Drawing – with Clintel Steed
September 21st - December 7th, 2020
6:30pm - 9:30pm

COURSE DESCRIPTION
When does a drawing become epic? In this class, we will focus on creating an epic drawing. We will focus on structure and scale and how these elements can lead to space, and ultimately, to an epic drawing. Students will be encouraged to make courageous moves with their drawing, both subtractively and additively. Students will be encouraged to utilize collage and traditional drawing methods and to think about what is working and what is not working in their work.
