I’m excited to return to the Coppini Academy of Fine Arts in October of 2022, this time for a 4-day intensive workshop in figure modeling. The Coppini Academy is the actual studio of an historic Italian Sculptor who lived and worked in San Antonio in the early 20th c, creating monumental and more personal works with great success. Many examples of his work are on display in the studio and his monumental marble composition, “The Spirit of Sacrifice” can be seen at Alamo Plaza, though he installed pieces all around the United States and Mexico during his lifetime. Steeped in history, it’s a fascinating place to study and practice figure modeling.
Students will work from a live model at an 18” scale with oil based clay, on a wire armature. Teaching methods will include brief lectures, demonstrations, and individual feedback. I’ll be introducing my 3-stage model to explain the figure modeling process. The price includes tuition, model fee, and materials.
