Sculpture section They say the sculpture is the purest form of art.

Her power to prevail in front of the viewer comes from the fact that there is a fragment of a world waiting to be understood and felt it is a tangible part of reality. Unfortunately, the sculpture is less promoted in Romania, what leads to lack of experience, necessary to estimate its real value. Attracted by the digital art innovation, we forget where it all began and it seemed hard to appreciate more the form in its natural state. Modern Sculpture requires a well thought and studied concept and also a an execution an achievement made passionately. Our courses aim to restore a link with visual art and cultural development of participants. There are many different forms of sculpting and classes could specialize in one particular area, but it is likely that a course will take you through the whole scope and you will learn all there is to know. Here are a few examples that our students might be interested in. Clay Sculpture classes : This is a great way to relax and do something different with your hands. It is another form of art and you will be able to use your masterpieces at home in many different forms or you can leave them on display. Metal Sculpture classes: This will take a little longer because it involves everything you need to know about the construction and also the brazing and forging process. You wont need any equipment because the sculpture courses will provide everything. Bronze Casting: Bronze casting goes back a long time. It involves the process of working with a wax mould and ceramics. You will follow your instructor so you wont get lost. The materials will all be provided. Terra Cotta Sculpture: This is also a nice place to start. You will probably be working with figures and your instructor would guide you as to how to go about proportions with the anatomy of the figure. Sculpture course is divided into three modules - drawing, intermediate materials (study clay) and finished materials - direct carving (wood, stone). We will begin with drawing, familiarity with the direct observation in the sculptural effect, followed by the contact with material, the clay is ideal for making the transition to drawing, easier for volume and to prepare for difficult contact with the finished material.

Sculpture courses includes techniques of direct carving in stone and drawing, consideration of form, nature of materials, use and care of tools and safety codes. Soft stone called Pietra Leccese is used. It is suitable for beginners and Intermediate levels. Students will be provided with stone carving tools and the Leccese stone can be taken home at the end of the workshop.
