Overview
This course will provide students with the opportunity to work three-dimensionally from the human figure in clay. Sculpting directly in clay students will develop their observational skills, ability to handle clay and senses of proportion and form. Students will build and model clay so that completed pieces can be kiln fired, after which they will learn how to finish their sculptures using a variety of techniques and materials.

Assessments take the form of individual tutorials and group reviews.After the final assessment students will be issued with a letter-band grade in accordance with the University of Glasgow Study Abroad guidelines.
