Student, instructor, and guest comments on current exhibitions, studying at JCSA, and contemporary art.

Another great day jam packed with a ton of information.  After going over Weight Distribution and how it affects Gesture in a figure,  Stephen showed us how he approaches sculpting a Life size foot.  He spoke about a sequence of hierarchy and urged us to work from simple to complex forms.

Here are some of the drawings from the anatomy/dissection lab through our exciting collaboration with the Drexel University School of Medicine in Philadelphia this past fall.
