 The
Vaugel Sculpture Studio Short-Term Intensive Workshops is
limited to 10 students per week, working with 1 figure and 1 portrait
model in each class. Classes work on the portrait for 1 full week and
on the figure for 1 full week. The instructor, Martine
Vaugel, teaches 6 hours every day, using demonstrations, lectures,
individual critiques and hands-on instruction. |
| Instruction is for all levels. We seek highly motivated students who are hungry for basic knowledge. We provide as many opportunities as possible for maximum learning based on individual motivation and proven group dynamics. The teaching approach is based on a profound geometric and anatomical analysis of the figure. It emphasizes boney landmarks, the weighting of planes in the creation of forms, the skull and direct observation. |
| For
the beginner, we are "process" not "product" oriented
teachers. We know that everyone has a multitude of creative energy and
sculptural ideas waiting to come forth from within. It is our desire to
give you the tools and the processes we ourselves use in order to create
our own sculptural visions. We believe letting go of "product"
orientation during our program will greatly free you in your ability to
simply learn, allowing for the more critical, judgmental and painful aspects
of the learning process to take a back seat. |
| For the advanced student using our geometric and graphic approach will greatly increase your ability to objectify and "fix" your own sculptures. We believe this will diminish your dependence on teachers, giving you the professional ability you are craving , and take many of you out of the realm of "student sculptors" and into the realm of "professional sculptors". (Our definition of "professional" is not the ability to sell your own work, but the ability to create your own work.) |
| We are proud to say that most graduates of our intensive workshops, whether beginner or advanced students, have acknowledged the birth of a greatly enhanced freedom to create due to the experience. |
