New Class

GRANDCENTRAL

ACADEMY O F ART


Cast Sculpture

taught by Angela Cunningham

Saturday • 12:30 - 4:30pm • $100


the

Copying from the antique has always been the foundation

of a classical sculptor's education. Beginners will start by

copying casts of the features of Michelangelo’s David

while advanced students approach more complicated casts

from our collection. Students are encouraged to advance

from the block-in at a slow, calm pace to gain a deeper

understanding of classical form, structure, gesture and

planes to ultimately arrive at fully rendered sculptures.
