Modelling

FSI-YM1 Acad. year: 2025/2026 Winter semester

The course focuses on the modelled head, which is a classic object for practicing the construction of mass in space and teaching modelling techniques. The semester is divided into three assignments, the first is a modelled skull based on a model, which is the necessary starting point for the subsequent two modelled heads based on plaster busts, with emphasis on proportion, character expression, movement and details.
