The intensive courses are designed for students wishing to learn the art of modelling sculpture based on a live model.

Students will learn to reproduce and analyse shapes, solids and voids. We will study the construction of a face and body, analysing all aspects: structure, bone structure and musculature. We will make a sculpture from start to finish, reproducing a model in its entirety.

Classical sculpture

Classical sculpture, modeling: study of models or portrait. All will be studied on pictures or based on sculptures made out of plaster.

Casting stage

Casting stage: study and implementation of a silicone mould (a sock mould) with a view to having your own work cast at a bronze foundry (this stage does not take place at the school) or with the aim of obtaining multiple copies of an original made of a replacement material, such as artificial stone, plaster, wax, etc… The silicone mould is a mould that can be reused.

Patina

Patina: The course focuses on the application of coloured patina on the terracotta sculptures made by the pupils during the course of the year. This subtle sleight of hand makes the sculptures look even more beautiful. Among others, we imitate the fake bronze ‘verdigris’, red bronze or brown bronze, the ceruse style, the aged style and many, many more…
