HARCOURT HOUSE Sculpting from Life: from Reality to Abstraction

6 Wednesdays, 6 – 9 pm
February 29 to April 4, 2012
Cost: $230 ($200 members)
Fee includes 1 box of clay.

The key to successful abstraction is knowing your subject in its true form first. Working with clay, from a live model, Sharon Moore-Foster will teach students to sculpt what they see and how to take their work to a new level through abstraction. Students will learn how to inject their own energy into their work and learn vital elements of sculpture such as contour, composition and form. www.sharonmoorefoster.com

PULSE: SCULPTING FROM LIFE WORKSHOP Instructor: Sharon Moore-Foster Saturday and Sunday, March 17 & 18, 2012 10 – 5 pm Cost: $180 ($205 non-members) 1box of clay included in course fee.

Please call for more information on other supplies and where to purchase them.

Using a professional live model for inspiration and subject matter, students will begin with a small gestural clay study. Alongside the physicality of sculpting, students will learn the importance of drawing for sculptural perception and reference. Through exploration we will sculpt a larger clay piece and at the end of this inspired, relaxing weekend students will feel more attuned to their creative voice and have two to three pieces to add to their portfolio. www.sharonmoorefoster.com Harcourt House: Phone 426-4180 for more information and to register. Please contact Sharon  at 780.966.1076 for any further information or just to say hi.
