Rod is known for his expressive animal sculptures based on solid proportions, but not derived from extensive measuring. Students will learn Rod’s techniques for modeling hearts and souls into their animals, as well as fast effective armature building. Specializing in building an armature and simplifying proportion, Rod’s teaching is also beneficial to two-dimensional artists seeking depth in learning. All references will be from photos, models, and studying other art. Students will have the option of choosing the animal they would like to sculpt and can expect to finish a medium sized clay model, suitable for bronze casting during the week. Fellow of the National Sculpture Society, Zullo has years of experience teaching sculpture. Many of Rod’s students have advanced in their careers because of his mentoring and enthusiastic approach to living as an artist.
