SCULPTING THE FIGURE Workshop - Bringing Passion & Motion To Your Work
July 2009, taught by master sculptor:  Richard MacDonald >
 
“It is my desire and mission to teach and provide artists with the tools and education that will take them to
the next level.” Richard MacDonald

The focus of these intensive 5-day workshops will be learning to interpret the human form and then transferring this interpretation to clay and bronze. Through comprehensive personal demonstrations and discussions on sculpting techniques, anatomy, proportion and composition Richard MacDonald & Andrew Cawrse will provide students with the knowledge and skills required to take their art to the next level. Working with live models each day, students will work on 2-3 different projects. These workshops are appropriate for intermediate to advanced sculptors. Students should have proficiency in figurative drawing & painting in addition to their sculpting experience.

Dick Smith on Jordu's Classes:
"If I moved to Los Angeles, the first thing I would do is sign up for Jordu Schell's sculpture class. I'm not kidding. Jordu has an extraordinary talent for creating fantastic faces which have an intrinsic logic and superb modeling that makes them believable. In my opinion, to be great, a make-up, creature or transformation must make the viewer believe that it could have a life of its own. Jordu is the master of the bizarre made believable." - Dick Smith
