Anatomy is the first and foremost important aspect of all the artistic learning processes.  This course is designed as a easy to follow anatomy study course. This course is a must no matter the preferred artistic medium or skill level, from the professional to someone who has never work with clay before. The student will learn to train their eye to recognize shapes and form in their proper place, perspective and proportion. This is the first step and will lead to human head anatomy, full figure human and animal anatomy.

All first time students will start with a ¼ life size horse head study. The horse head is used for it’s simplicity in understanding bone and muscle anatomy.

• The first day the students will sculpt the skeletal structure of the skull.

• The Third day the finished sculpture will emerge as a complete horse head bust
