Drawing in Space Part2: Rendering the Figure

[New Masters Academy]

In this course, sculptor Robert Bodem shares with you his program “Drawing in Space”. Bodem has developed this program over the twenty years he has been teaching sculpture in the Florence Academy of Art. He is a cum laude graduate from Boston University. Afterwards he travelled to Florence to continue his art studies. However, before finishing his studies, he returned to Boston to obtain his MA and receive a highly prestigious art award. Once again in Italy, he started the Sculpture Department in the FAA which he has directed for the last two decades. He has now moved to Greece to open his own atelier: the Athens Sculpture Atelier. You will be able to see the development of a figure sculpture from a life model. Robert will go trough each step of the process like understanding gesture, three-dimensional contours or the best practices for working from life.

In this second section of “Drawing in Space”, Robert illustrates concepts like contours and highpoints. He also walks you through the process of developing the main forms of the figure, also known as rendering.
