An armature is a framework, a skeleton for sculpture that holds its shape, which is covered, added to, and built over, in order to make a three dimensional shape. In this class, you will learn to make sculpture using common materials: from the hardware store, your closet, the thrift store, or off the street, The class will be led with the spirit of exploration and experimentation!
Connecting with your inner artist, you will collect sculptural elements and ideas that attract you. With that process, suddenly a boot can become the base for a sculpture, though it may not be recognizable as a boot in your finished piece! As your work develops over the course of our class, your armatures will be combined with wire, fabric, and other materials, to create three dimensional objects that stand, hang, or pop off the wall.
This online class uses the ZOOM platform.
