Daily demonstrations will be given, along with discussions, lectures, and personalized instruction based upon the individuals needs.

Tuesday Night- Portrait Sculpture-Instructor Alicia Ponzio-New

March 27-May 29th, 2012

Class is full

We are offering a second session of sculpting class with Renowend instructor Alicia Ponzio.. 

The course will meet weekly for 10 weeks, for 3 hour sessions. Alicia Ponzio, a Florence Academy trained sculptress, will guide students through the process of sculpting from life in traditional water based clay, on a wooden armature. Using direct observation, students will learn to read and describe the structural elements of the portrait, and then to explore the form, likeness, and expression of the sitter. Composition as it relates to portrait sculpture will also be discussed.  Alicia will work alongside students and offer feedback to individual students during each class.

The course is appropriate for beginning or advanced students of sculpture, as well as all levels of painters and draftsmen who are interested in studying the portrait in 3 dimensions.

Each student will work on a life size portrait for the duration of the course. At the end of the course, the piece can be photographed, or students may opt to cast it or fire it themselves if they have access to those facilities.

Armatures and Clay will be provided, please bring tools. See recommended tools.

Alicia N. Ponzio Alicia Nicole Ponzio (b.1974) is a figurative sculptress working primarily in bronze.  Originally from the United States, she completed her sculpture training in Florence, Italy at the Florence Academy of Art (FAA) in 2008. She was then Director of Artistic Anatomy and Écorché Sculpture programs, as well as a figure drawing instructor at the same school for 3 years before returning to the United States (San Francisco, CA) in July of 2011.
Alicia brings life to her bronzes, using the language of the figure to speak of emotional experiences. In Florence, Italy, she sought an education in the figure, immersed in the aesthetic of the Renaissance and Classical. She’s drawn to subject matter that’s empathic and timeless.  Recently, her work has been recognized by several international organizations, including the Portrait Society of America, the Society of Portrait Sculptors, and The Art Renewal Center.
