2012 Sculpture Workshops
With the establishment of the Carroll A. Campbell, Jr. Center for American Sculpture in 2004, Brookgreen Gardens extended its educational reach to a broader audience with workshops in sculpture and drawing under the tutelage of nationally known sculptors throughout the year. Students are attracted by the caliber of the teachers and by the opportunity to learn within the Brookgreen environment. Email sculpture@brookgreen.org for more information.
April 23-27 'Essential Principles of Composition in 3-Dimensional Sculpture & Bas-relief and Fundamental Principles of Bas-relief with Sergey Eylanbekov' $650 plus material and model fees (Mon-Fri) In this workshop, you get two subjects for the price of one! Essential Principles of Composition in 3-Dimensional Sculpture and Bas-relief includes (1) the principles of composition applied to designing a single figure, multi-figure group, portrait, and torso; (2) the use of elements and accessories, such as drapery, in sculptural composition; (3) and how to compose a relief. Fundamental Principles of Bas-relief includes instruction in creating a figure and other elements in relief incorporating foreshortening, the inter-relation of a figure with the background, and other techniques. Both of the subjects include thorough explanation and demonstration, working with and without a model. Students will create their own compositions in full 3-D and bas-relief applying these principles and techniques.
Sergey Eylanbekov was born in Russia in 1960, and began his sculpture and drawing studies in Moscow in 1973. His professional career began in 1984, after graduation with honor from the Moscow Surikov Academy of Fine Arts. The Russian Ministry of Culture acquired several of his sculptures for permanent exhibition in various museums. In 1989, Eylanbekov moved to the United States and continued to create and exhibit bronze sculptures, paintings, and drawings. Through the years, he has exhibited sculpture in a variety of techniques and materials (mainly bronze), receiving numerous awards, and completing various commissions. His sculpture, Five Continents, officially represented the United States of America in the Worldwide Olympic Art and Sport Contest in commemoration of the Olympic Summer Games 2004 in Athens, Greece. The sculpture was awarded First Place and is in the collection of the Olympic Museum in Lausanne, Switzerland. In 2005, his works were exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art in Moscow and, in 2006, at the United Nations headquarters in New York City. He has created a recently dedicated monument for the city of Oslo, Norway. His art can be found in public and private collections in the United States, Europe, and Russia.

Levels of Skill
Skill levels given in the workshop listings are approximate and are guidelines only. All workshops, including those for beginners, require students to have some familiarity with the subject matter of the class.
Supplies, Books and Additional Fees
A supply list of required materials will be sent approximately one month prior to the start of each workshop. Students may not bring their own clay to the workshop unless the instructor has specified it. If recommended, students are encouraged to obtain books prior to the workshop. Some materials for workshops are provided and some workshops require models, both for additional fees. In the event additional fees are required, they are determined at cost and divided evenly among the students.

One hour is allowed for lunch. Students are encouraged to bring their own bag lunches or to use Brookgreen food service facilities.
