We will take field trips to scrap yards and junk stores to acquire reference materials. Artists with high energy and innovative ideas are encouraged to take this class. Casting experience in any media will be helpful but is not required. I am interested in finding direct, efficient, innovative answers to problems. Come with ideas, energy, and an open mind.
Every problem presents a range of possibilities to consider and explore.
Hoss Haley's gallery page. Group and individual projects will be completed. Each student will carve a head or human form using ourselves as models. With drawing and photography as visual aids, we will work out our ideas in small clay maquettes. I will show you how to use these as scale models for your carving.
