This hands-on workshop explores 3D sculpting and how it can be integrated into a number of art forms including sculpture, jewelry design, digital art, and animation. The current field of digital art is exploding and is having an incredible influence on the visionary art movement. Exciting new frontiers of expression are opening up in this new era of artist-friendly digital tools and affordable hardware. A few new creative areas that utilize digital art include fine art, mixed media art, sculpture, video projection, stage/installation art, architectural design, animation, virtual reality, augmented/mixed reality, and interactive art. This is just the tip of the iceberg. The number of applications that use digital art as a means of expression is constantly growing. WHAT TO EXPECT: The process of learning about 3D sculpting will begin with learning about the basic software interface and controls. You will be able to dive directly into sculpting and learning about different sculpting techniques on the first day. In addition to live demonstrations that you can follow in class, there will be open studio time to receive feedback and additional instruction. You will leave the class with a solid foundation on how to create sculptural forms in ZBrush along with a deeper understanding of how to apply 3D sculpting to your art. YOUR INSTRUCTOR: Ben Ridgeway Ben Ridgway is a Professor at San Francisco State University in the School of Cinema. "I am an innerspace excavator. My goal is to dig deep into the inner spatial worlds we inhabit and bring them into physical form. Where words fall short, visual language, sound, and all of the senses can be used to communicate worlds of abstraction in a universally understandable manner." @benridgwayart threyda.com/collections/ben-ridgway vimeo.com/benridgway www.facebook.com/ben.ridgway.101 CoSM WORKSHOP SETTING Class sessions will take place in the MAGI Art Lab.
