SCHOOL OF SCULPTURE & ANATOMY

Portrait, plastic anatomy of the body, concept art

About the courses

The founder of Sculpt Art is a sculptor, restoration artist and teacher. His name is Alexander Spiridonov, it is a man of persistent creative energy, and a great desire to share knowledge. Having studied the anatomy of the human body for ten years, in total with 11 years of teaching experience, led Alexander to the creation of his own technique. The latest has been brought to perfection over the 5 years of the studio existence.
Classes are thought out and structured by the minute. For each class, the lecture material, as well as the plan for a practical lesson with a life model, have been formed.

The basis and difference of our school consist in a strong and clear technique

Any student who has come to Sculpt Art graduates with a full range of knowledge and practical skills. But that is not all. We know that the basis of teaching resides in the repetition and consolidation of the material. We keep devoting attention to the graduates. We regularly organize practice with a life model, provide co-working for independent work in our equipped workshop, and we work on new courses for professionals. We do everything so that our students do not just attend sculpture courses, but are constantly in an ambience of creative growth

What makes our school unique

Quality technique

Comprehension

Teaching methods are based on the comprehension and analysis of the theory, and not on copying after the teacher

Our students' feedbacks

I've taken the summer intensive course "Portrait Sculpture". The course leader, Alexander Spiridonov, helped to fall in love with the art of creating sculptures and plastic anatomy. There were a lot of new and interesting points.

Every day I was astonished how the perception of reality was changing. On the second day, I began to look for verges in everything around me, on the fourth day, I started to observe closely everyone's lips. By the end of the first week, when looking at somebody's face, the idea arose of how one could work with a stack to create a similar sculpture. Alexander gave a lot of new skills, tones of positive emotions and a huge store of knowledge.

Thanks a lot to Alexander Spiridonov and the Sculpt Art team for such an extraordinary course. The classroom was filled with a very friendly and warm atmosphere. It is incredibly pleasant to work and study with you. I'm looking forward to seeing you in the new school year. I have a lot of plans — I would like to take both "Fantasy portrait" and "Plastic anatomy of hand & forearm". Thanks a lot! You are the best!

I have already completed almost 2 courses here: "Plastic anatomy of the body" and "Portrait Sculpture".

I really like the presentation of the material, everything is pretty clear, graphically and simply served, and fits well in the head despite the seemingly large amount of material. And after classes, if something is forgotten, then you can always remember it using the notes.

The teachers are very polite and accepting of the students' different skills levels. The atmosphere in the studio is amazing and saturated with the desire to create something cool. :)

As soon as I finish "Portrait sculpture", I'll probably come back for something else, but a little later.

I thought I knew a lot about anatomy, before having come to Sculpt Art. I sculpted écorché, studied muscles, watched videos as well as medical anatomical atlases, made dolls for two years already, so, in general, I had fun as I could. :) And suddenly I came across an ad for a course of Plastic anatomy. And you know what?

It has changed my world completely! The pieces of plastic anatomy puzzle fell into place. Integrity, comprehension and a vivid idea appeared not only about the external contours of the muscles, but also about how they function, why they are needed, why everything is so complicated at first, and then, suddenly easy, poof — and done. :)

Alexander and Alexander work perfectly in tandem, each helps to take a different look at the world of plastic anatomy, and two points of view give a unique perspective, mixing with your own (in my case, of course, mine).

Is it worth taking the course of "Plastic anatomy of the body" if you think that something (or even everything) is already known? It is! This upgrade is incredible, after the courses, I definitely say, the world around is changing!
