Sculpture section
They say the sculpture is the purest form of art. Her power to
prevail in front of the
viewer comes from the fact that there is a fragment of a world
waiting to be understood and felt
it is a tangible part of reality.
Unfortunately, the sculpture is less promoted in Romania, what
leads to lack of
experience, necessary to estimate its real value. Attracted by
the digital art innovation, we
forget where it all began and it seemed hard to appreciate more
the form in its natural state.
Modern Sculpture requires a well thought and studied concept and
also a an execution an
achievement made passionately. Our courses aim to restore a link
with visual art and cultural
development of participants.
There are many different forms of sculpting and classes could
specialize in one particulararea, but it is likely that a course
will take you through the whole scope and you will learn allthere
is to know. Here are a few examples that our students might be
interested in.
Clay Sculpture classes : This is a great way to relax and do
something different with yourhands. It is another form of art and
you will be able to use your masterpieces at home in many
different forms or you can leave them on display.
Metal Sculpture classes: This will take a little longer because
it involves everything you need
to know about the construction and also the brazing and forging
process. You wont need anyequipment because the sculpture courses
will provide everything.
Bronze Casting: Bronze casting goes back a long time. It
involves the process of working with a
wax mould and ceramics. You will follow your instructor so you
wont get lost. The materialswill all be provided.
Terra Cotta Sculpture: This is also a nice place to start. You
will probably be working with
figures and your instructor would guide you as to how to go
about proportions with the anatomy
of the figure.
Sculpture course is divided into three modules - drawing,
intermediate materials (study -clay) and finished materials -
direct carving (wood, stone). We will begin with drawing,
familiarity with the direct observation in the sculptural
effect, followed by the contact withmaterial, the clay is ideal for
making the transition to drawing, easier for volume and to
prepare
for difficult contact with the finished material.
