South Worcester College School of Arts Summer School

Malvern

18 & 19 August 2011 10am 4.30pm SCULPTURE FOR PAINTERS Human Form Two spare places are available for this course. Painters of the human form can benefit enormously from studying the same form in 3 dimensions. Working from a live model you will increase your understanding of basic anatomy and of the amazing flexibility of the human form and the expressiveness of the face. Clay is a highly malleable, infinitely flexible medium which means that you can correct and refine the figure as your 3D grasp expands. When you return to painting you will find that you have a new insight into the human form. Ref : MSUN 146 Price : £100 College Contact : 01684 565351 Transport is available from Cheltenham. If interested contact Colin Doughty [email protected] after 9 August
