"Art Doll"
With Louise Ragle
What exactly IS an art doll? Simply put, it is a “doll” that is not a toy; but to be displayed as a piece of art. They are generally interpretive, abstract, freeform, and “expression” from the artist.
In this class, students will be given an original pattern that includes: body, head, straight and bent arm, straight and bent leg, optional fingers and toes. Doll can be posed in an endless variety of ways, using different combinations of pattern pieces and adding “darts” to position the doll.
Louise has chosen to express her fascination with Cirque du Soliel in a sample doll. The pattern pieces could become a child, sitting with crossed legs - a fairy - a quilter with a quilt in her lap - a ballerina - a cheerleader - either male or female (pattern for boobs included). Let your imagination fly!
