3D Models

Honoree's Remarks

For hundreds of years, art students have learned to draw using plaster casts of famous sculptures.

I selected 3D print reproductions of sculptures of hands and heads, which students will be able to check out and use for drawing practice. I chose models that are complex enough to provide a challenge (hands are notoriously hard to draw) yet not so intricate that beginners would get lost in a forest of minute detail.

Lightweight 3D prints are perfect for this application, better than plaster, which is heavy, dusty, and fragile.
