Nationally known sculptor and teacher Arlene Siegel is the instructor for this hands-on demonstration of the art of sculpting. Siegel, who describes her art as "bouncing off light and catching shadows," takes viewers through a step-by-step real time sculpture of a bust. After describing the necessary tools and discussing aspects of clay, Siegel creates the head of a young child, demonstrating along the way special techniques for making realistic eye sockets, cheekbones, ears, and hair. Siegel concludes with tips for the drying and kiln firing process. Excellent video and audio qualities, as well as detailed close-ups of Siegel working, make this a good choice for public libraries with large arts and crafts collections. Highly recommended.
