Modeling an Organic Object

[New Masters Academy]

In this lesson master sculptor Eric Michael Wilson demonstrates a foundational exercise for sculptors that teaches you how to analyze a simple organic object and reproduce it in clay. This exercise reinforces skills in working with clay, using the appropriate tools for each task, but also strengthens your ability to see major simplified shapes and forms and to work into that structure to reproduce natural subtleties and variations.
