Sculpture
Through experimentation with a variety of technical processes, projects, and material exploration, students work to develop a sophisticated dialog between material, concept, process and outcome. Students will work with wood, plaster, wire and variety of other materials depending on individual design and choice, and project direction. Wood construction, functional object-making, carving, armature building, and body casting, are all part of the Sculpture curriculum. This class, through presentation, research, discussion, and directed projects, will explore sculptural work that ranges between site-based work to object making, and beyond. Professional installation and lighting techniques will be discussed and expected from students during critique. Through classroom interaction and critique, focus will also be placed on the refinement of both written and verbal articulation of ideas regarding each and individuals’ work.
