Anatomical Sculpture Class Part 1: Armature

I am take a sculpture class at Watts Atelier this semester. We are sculpting out the anatomy of the arm. So this week we had to build the armature that the whole sculpture will sit on. I am no sculpture, but typically the armature itself is the skeletal structure for your sculpture, but since this is an anatomy class as well, next week we have to sculpt the bones of the arm, and then the following weeks will sculpting muscles over muscles. In the end you would be able to see a lot of what is sculpted so I am taking progress shots along the way. Here are a few pics of the armature that I built.





So next week I will have pics of a skeleton.
