SCULPTURE WORKSHOP
If you have never done sculpture but you have curiosity about it…
If you’ve tried it before but you would like to improve your technique

If you have an sculpture project in mind and you don’t know how or
where to carry it out, start with the module that suits you better.
Module 1: INITIATION TO MODELLING (3 months)

Module 2: INITIATION TO SCULPTURE

to use them according to our expressive needs: clay modelling, plaster carving,
direct plaster, paper.

Module
3: HUMANE FIGURE IN SCULPTURE
(3 months)
• Sculptures in different materials and techniques will be done: ceramic
sculpture, moulds, vaciado in plaster, cartapesta, iron structures making.
• We’ll study representation in volume and relief of masculine
and feminine figure, sectioned and complete.
• It is necessary to have previous knowledges in human figure drawing, or sculpture.
Module
4: MIXED TECHNIQUES IN SCULPTURE
(no fixed duration)
• Diverse plastic materials will be explored, as: clay, plaster, paper, metal, fabric. wood, cement, glass, etc. We will insist in exploration of sculpture contemporary tendencies: mixed techniques, installations, process, concept, object art. Projects will be integrally conceived and executed by the student, under the professor supervision. Technical instruction is personalised according to each project needs.
• No need to have previous experience.
Module 5: RECYCLING SCULPTURE
(no fixed duration)
• Starting from recycling elements we will put our imagination in function. All type of materials and techniques will be investigated, favouring interdisciplinary work by means of incorporation of painting and photography.
• No need to have previous knowledges.
Module 6: SCULPTURE IN PAPER
(no fixed duration)
• Cartapesta and papier maché techniques. They are fun and
it's easy to obtain light sculptures with risky forms. You'll learn to model
in clay, make the moulds later and then the casting in paper. It is one
of the sculpture techniques where the use of colour is as important as the
form. Sculpture in paper is of great utility in escenography, making of
design objects and new jewellery.
• No need to have previous experience.
