Please come prepared with a large t-shirt or an apron as we will get messy. Before you come to art class, think about what you will do for your portrait: overall shape of the face, the eyes, nose, eyebrows, ears, and even think of other additions to the face.


Some examples for your reference.



August Rodin, Hanako, clay





Simon Boses, Clay masks

I think art is mostly drawing but really art could be about every thing. Art could be structures,shapes,drawings,models
sculptures,clay work,designs and alot more. you could find paintings, drawings, and structures in a building on curmercials or almost any where,even in your imagination.
Art has no end to it it is continuous. Art could also be photos or movies. There is also visual arts.
