Intensive courseS
Stage 1: Study of the face – classical sculpture
This intensive course is designed for students who wish to learn the art of portrait sculpture based on a model.
The first two days: The student learns to reproduce, to analyse the forms, the fullness, the emptiness during on the basis of a sculpture in plaster. He learns to look at and ultimately to reproduce what he sees.
The following three days: we will study the construction of a sculpture (complete face) by analysing the model in order to learn how to build. We will create a portrait on the basis of the live model. We will make a sculpture from start to finish in its entirety, including structure and musculature.
This course will be intensive but will take place in a good mood.
A deposit of 190 euros is required to reserve a place.

Stage 3: Study of the living model – classical sculpture
The intensive course is designed for students who wish to learn the art of modelling in sculpture based on a live model.
The student learns to reproduce, to analyse forms, solids and voids. They learn to look and ultimately to reproduce what they see.
In the mornings, on Monday and Tuesday, we will do quick poses. We will study the construction of a sculpture by quickly analysing the model in order to learn how to build. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings will be dedicated to the study of the face, we will learn how to build a head by sketching it, analysing the forms, the lines, the volumes, the planes and we will go as far as to finalise a portrait in 3 mornings.
All afternoons will be dedicated to the elaboration of a long pose. We will make a sculpture from start to finish, reproducing a model in its entirety.
This course will be intensive but will take place in a good mood.

Stage 5: Animaux- étude des postures animales- sculpture classique
The intensive course is designed for students who wish to learn the art of sculpting from a photographic model.
The student learns to reproduce, to analyse forms, solids and voids. He learns to look at and ultimately to reproduce what he sees.
In the morning, on Monday and Tuesday we will study the structure of a four-legged animal (the pupil can choose which animal). We will study the construction of a sculpture by quickly analysing the model in order to learn how to build. Wednesday, Thursday and Friday mornings will be devoted to the study of animal heads, the bone structure, the eyes, the bone structures common to different animals. We will learn how to build different heads by sketching them, analysing the shapes, lines, volumes, plans and we will go as far as to finalise a head, dog, monkey, horse, bear etc…
Every afternoon will be dedicated to the elaboration of a complete sculpture. We will make a sculpture from start to finish and we will work on the reproduction of an animal in its entirety.
The student will need to bring documentation of the animal he/she wishes to reproduce.
This course will be intensive but will take place in a good atmosphere.
A deposit of 190 euros is required to reserve a place.

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…
