Stephen Perkins Workshop- Day 2

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.

Arm Study with Steven Perkins

At the end of our ecorche class with Perkins, he was able to focus on certain muscles and parts of the body on a larger scale. Here’s Steve lecturing about the arm, sculpted at life size.

Making Life Masks

Today we learned how to make life masks! Seth Baldwin came up from Philadelphia and generously walked us through the process step-by-step. By the end of the day we were mixing, layering and making our own molds!

Tracy Banaszynski was our first victim – er, brave volunteer.

With Seth’s help, we ambitiously tried making an open-mouthed expression of Chad Fisher, including his neck and part of his shoulders and upper chest.
