Clay verses plastic


Soon to start week 4 of the Ecoche', I thought it helpfull to enlighten some of you non techy types as to what this strange ritual might be. Imagine that you are building the human body... from the inside out! Yes weeks sculpting an oil base clay over a wire armature to create an anatomically correct skeleton- one bone at a time. Then think about creating the precise shapes of each muscle as you attach them to these bones. Yes we are learning all the names as well as the origin and insertion of all muscles. For somebody who has not had thier nose in an anatomy book, this is all latin... no really most of the names are latin, and the study is intense and exhausting to learn all of this but also to switch tracks from 2-D to 3-D artwork. Anyway here is my sculpture facing the skeleton... clay verses plastic. Enjoy!
