Book Reviews of Modeling the Head in Clay (Practical Craft Books)

Book Review: Modeling the Head in Clay
Summary: 4 Stars



This is one of the best books to show others how to begin the process of sculpting heads in clay. The book is very well designed and organized. The format includes plenty of black and white, clear close up photos of the artist's clay works in stages of progression. All the pages have useful, visual details of an art lesson in modeling the head. I recommend art teachers to buy this book to help students, including beginners or advanced art students, who have never done an modeling of the human head with clay. The artist is also one of the finest clay sculptors I have seen. All the figures and heads are classical and realistic.

Summary of Modeling the Head in Clay (Practical Craft Books)

Renowned contemporary sculptor Bruno Lucchesi takes a single life-size head through all the stages of rough in, modeling, refining the surface, and finishing and texturing, enabling the reader to see exactly how he positions and models every detail. The book demonstrates not just highlights of the creative process, but every step from beginning to end.
