Class Description: 

This class aims to have the students learn an efficient way to approach sculpture specially when it comes to carving directly.

The subject to explore would be the human face, which will be carved in clay using a reductive method in planes, which will systematically deconstruct its shapes in a geometric way.

Following a hierarchy of importance, the students will learn to form a coherent strategy of sculpting. By focusing in a general to specific approach, we will advance in a logical way, in which each step (or cut) will lead to the next until the desired form is achieved. 

Since every sculptural work is different, this class doesn’t necessarily seek to teach a sculptural formula, but offers a way of thinking three-dimensionally, which transcends to other artistic fields enriching their practices.
