As a vehicle for story telling there are an infinite number of ways to express and interpret the figure. In this four day workshop, we will explore the powerful narrative potential of the human form through the construction of the full figure. While special attention will be paid to human anatomy and proportions, we will also focus on expression and gesture as the powerhouses of storytelling. Students will be asked to bring in narrative inspirational materials, such as the written word, objects, photographs, etc. We will use these items as a springboard to build a figure that expresses a story and discuss how to add mixed media and found objects to create a seamless narrative. Class time will also include field trips to local treasure troves of inspiration!! Chattanooga is the perfect environment to get lost in inspiration and Townsend Atelier is a true creative gem.
