## Description

Buy Ceramic Sculpture: Making Faces: A Guide to Modeling the Head and Face with Clay Illustrated by Alex Irvine (ISBN: 9781454707769) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders.

Review: This book is not altogether what it appears - In many ways this is a very traditional 'how to' book, with a central technique that would be very useful to teachers of GCSE Art, and easily applicable to a group. The author's own work is part of the didactic structure, and examples of facial expressions are juxtaposed with basic anatomical line drawings to show how expressions are formed by the body. The five star element is the range of work published by contemporary ceramic sculptors, which is very challenging and highly creative. I sat up in bed reading this and got to the last few portfolio pagea, and wondered whether I should be looking at the work before sleep. So it's cover belies the contents, which vary between pedestrian and downright scary.
Review: Did not disappoint - As described. Ok price

As described. Ok price

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was just right for me
*by S***J on 15 February 2021*

I m a reasonable but amateur sculptor, and this is very good. It gives breakdowns of the basic shapes of the face, the differences between male & female faces, the proportions , so you know the relationship between nose, eyes, eards, mouth, etc. It also gives examples of different expressions, explaining the muscles used, clearly. it uses real people as models, and egs of finished art works, as well as his own clay work to demonstrate each. Highly recommended.
