a different medium
i'm currently a junior in college and i wasn't too familiar with the medium of clay up until i registered for Basic Sculpture this Fall semester. my professor suggested this book to me and it has been quite helpful...i'm usually glued to pencil, paint, and charcoal...but ever since i joined this class and obtained this book - i love the feeling of clay in my hands. i can't wait to work with metal and cast moldings.

Sculpture Technique form Content
I am the author of this book. Some comments have been misleading from the site/reviews. 1. This is not a paperback book. However, there is a small paperback "Guide for teachers" with the same title that can aid the book in teaching use. 2. The book has always been in print since the original edition and still is. However, Amazon may not have it in stock.

recommended for aspiring art teachers only
This version of "Sculpture: Technique, Form, Content", is a little deceptive.
It is, in actuality, a teacher's guide for the text bearing the same name. I received this copy as a gift from a family member who didn't know this fact and pleasantly surprised me. As an aspiring secondary level art teacher myself, I found Mr. William's suggestions on the use of his text to be well thought out, but not overbearing. The paperback and hardcover editions of the text are both out of print and difficult to locate, although quite worthwhile. This book is an excellent companion title for the text.
