Using a 21-inch skeletal armature, you will apply clay muscles to match an anatomical cast. Each muscle is applied in the order which is indicated on three lists provided.
List 1: lower and upper leg
List 2: the torso, upper arm, lower arm, and the hand
List 3: the neck and head
The lists were designed to be used in conjunction with the anatomy book Anatomy for Artists by Eliot Goldfinger.
This class is an excellent study for the artist who is inspired by the human form. Each student will apply clay to the bone tinted armature to gain a complete understanding of the relationship between the muscle and bone. You will also learn important skeleton landmarks as well as the origin and insertions of the muscles and tendons. The finished sculpture will look like the clay muscle image.
Resin skeletal armature provided and included in the price of the class.
Additional materials required: Two 2 pound blocks of Chavant NSP Medium Brown Clay, $26. (Chavant clay can also be purchased online.)
