Kat shapirio's sculpture

Damien Lucas

Inspiring non-student work

These photos are my first postings to the site and i hope you like them. Please call me to discuss your next sculpture class

We have found our pose which is indicated in the maquette of the first photo.

The following photos are of Damien teaching us to make our armature in wire and nailing the armature to the wooden broads.
It is very important to capture the gesture of the pose in the armature.

The next photos are of the students putting the clay onto the armature and we spent a good 3 hours working with the clay and looking at our model, moving around the studio capturing and understanding the pose.

Damien teaches us to roll the clay and draw with the clay.

A very productive day of work.

We have two students in our class who have never done any sculpting before and they are both really enjoying and learning the process.

Life Drawing model in foreground with Damien and student and work piece

Our 6 week “Life Study” commenced today with a group of four enthusiastic students.
Damien taught us for the first 3 hours of the day to sculpturally draw the model.
We all had chachole and paper and Tori (our model) moved into many different poses over the 3 hours.

After lunch we focused on one pose which we have selected to start working in clay.
Damien then taught us to draw with the clay making simple shapes and breaking down the body parts.

Individual 'cylinders' make the figure

You can see in the photos these small cylinder shapes which can be moved to find the rthyum and gesture of the pose we have chosen.

We are all excited about next weeks class.
