Andrew attended the Florence Academy of Art from 1998 – 2007 and was the schools Director of Anatomy from 2002 – 2008. Using oil based clay this workshop will allow students to build a sculpture of the head from the armature to the skull and finally apply muscles creating a portrait of the model.

“The workshop caused some drastic changes in the way I approach my painting classes and my paintings in general. I made all my students complete one sight-size drawing or painting in the first half of this semester before they could do anything else. It has definitely worked to their advantage. After the workshop I immediately started another painting, a portrait of my Mother, something I had been uncomfortable with doing for many years, and using what I learned in the workshop I was able to get it done in 10 days…”
