When Sculpture Talks Back
Session Three: June 16-28

Arthur Gonzalez
When Sculpture Talks Back

With the life-size portrait bust as our format, students will learn how to depict emotions through facial expressions and asymmetrical poses and find their way to narrative. We will work with a handbuilding method called the inside-out technique, in which the artist’s hands stand in for the muscle and bone. This technique enables the artist to manipulate the figure in a natural manner, from both sides of the clay wall, turning the clay into “skin.” The application of color will be guided by the theories of Post-Impressionism and the Bay Area Figurative Movement, representing emotion and “time of day.” We will work with a low-fire, iron-base clay. All levels. Upper clay studio.
