Sandy will begin the workshop with a discussion about bird anatomy, aerodynamics and achieving the illusion of movement of birds in flight. She will also discuss the difference between a technically adequate piece of work and one with spirit and life. She will emphasize the value of lost and found edges and how good composition and an expressive surface convey a feeling of movement, rhythm, light and emotion. Students will learn the importance of assembling strong, meaningful shapes and how eliminating unimportant details can create the essence of the bird.
Students will work from photography, drawings, taxidermy mounts and videotapes of birds in flight. Instruction includes building bird armatures. Above all, movement, gesture, and anatomy are the focus.
We will sculpt from 9:00 a.m. to 4 p.m daily
