Today's options for figurative sculpture study are brief workshops or long-term programs. While short workshops do not offer enough time to develop a keen understanding of the subject, dedicating three years to study is impossible for most people. Many experienced educators agree that six months is not enough time to train a student; however, I believe that with a group of focused and dedicated students, six months will be sufficient time to achieve every student's goal: independence.
Twelve students are accepted annually, and dedication is the only requirement. The course is run between two studios, one dedicated to figure studies and the other to portrait studies. Valentina Zlatarova has joined the team and will split the teaching week with Robert Bodem. Valentina Zlatarova
The curriculum is structured to allow for gradual accumulation and understanding of the significant goals each student will work towards. Initial projects will be brief (3 hours) and gradually lengthen to include a strong understanding of all the complexities one will encounter in the timeline of a sculpture from start to finish.
