This highly creative course teaches students to design and create exciting and unique creatures, aliens and monsters using traditional sculpting methods. Perfect for conveying a design in the real world and a necessary part of developing the skills important for learning the foundations of 3D design. Beginning with creature, alien, and monster design fundamentals, students learn armature construction, dynamic and neutral posing, and then concentrate heavily on primary and secondary forms, texturing and detailing their pieces. Lectures and demonstrations support and inform the overall process of completing a sculpture to a polished, professional finish. Students are expected to cover the cost of supplies, estimated between $200 to $300.
