Motion, Light & Sound: Dynamic Sculptures & Installations
Portrait Sculpture Workshop
John Kauffman
The focus is on the anatomy of the head and capturing likeness, personality, and mood in terra cotta. Students sculpt from a single pose in this two day intensive workshop. Visualizing 3-D form and choosing tools are addressed. Clay is included. Model and firing fees are extra.
Learn how artists create interactive installations and kinetic sculptures. This workshop teaches how to incorporate motion, light, and sound into your work with a simple, inexpensive device called a microcontroller. Without any prior knowledge of electronics or programming, participants learn to achieve interactive pieces that respond to environmental changes. Students bring a laptop and, prior to the workshop, directly order a kit of parts ($80). Parts are reusable and students can continue to experiment in the future with no further investment in tools. $180 September 13 & 14, 2014

Figure Sculpture Workshop The focus of this workshop is the anatomy of the figure, gesture, and proportion. The gesture is the core of any figurative work, therefore the essential movement, rhythm and flow of the pose is stressed. What lighting best illuminates form, texture, or detail is discussed. Use of tools to achieve various types of surfaces is explored as well as the engineering aspects of building small figures in clay. Includes two bags of clay. Model fees are extra.
10:00am–4:00pm
Bas Relief Sculpture Nick Xhiku This course introduces students to the principles of bas-relief, which serves as a bridge between two-dimensional and threedimensional art. Students explore different methods of the bas-relief process as they build up and out of the flat surface of clay. Principles of perspective are addressed. Class begins with a simple project and progresses to more complex ones. $175 December 6 & 7, 2014
