Figure Sculpting at the New York Academy of Art (Spring 2024)

I had my final class on Figure Sculpting at the New York Academy of Art on May 18 and below are images I took of my work before it went out to the kiln.

Organic Shapes Continued.

Experiments with organic shapes. Model making for larger structures one day.

Figure Sculping at the New York Academy of Arts

I’m taking Figure Sculpting classes this Spring 2024 at the New York Academy of Arts and below are a few photos of my maquette in progress. These are progress shots taken at the end of two sessions of class.

Heart

Our vital organ, represented here in air-drying clay. My next steps with this medium is learning how to waterproof it while keeping its earthy tone.

Corals

A fluid form inspired by corals. I started using air-drying clay for my studies. I’m still learning how to keep it hydrated for long enough to smoothen out my shapes. This model is rough, but I enjoyed working on it, and I love how it turned out.
