This workshop analyzes the head, neck and upper torso from a perspective of artistic structure focusing on the geometry, rhythmic movement of form, proportions and the prototypical forms common to all heads. The class works from large to small making it a slow motion breakdown of the forms of the head in the way a portrait sculpture might proceed but with each form analyzed. This method helps to build up the “secret figure” or inner map of the forms that artists work from. The principle of the hierarchy of forms is stressed, small forms take their place within medium and medium emerge from large forms and so on. The main model for the class would be my clay piece rather than a life model as the goal is learning the forms in a clear diagrammatic and universal manner. The goal is not a portrait but the comprehension of the structural analysis of the forms that lead to portraits. Students work in clay on armatures in a step-by-step method with short demos followed carrying out the work.
