Course Description
Summary
Sculpture is approached as a sensual and philosophical exploration of form and space, and our interactions with/within each. Through a range of materials and processes, we will identify visual relationships and explore how they contain and express meaning to affect us intellectually, emotionally, and physically. Using narrative prompts, assignments will focus on developing an understanding of the formal elements of three-dimensional design and fabrication techniques using plaster, wood, clay, metal, and fiber. Studio assignments will dovetail with discussions of the historical contexts from which contemporary art continues to evolve. As we look for creative solutions, impulses and methodologies will begin to reveal our individual sensibilities. Intensive explorations in making encourage you to develop a personal relationship to form and markmaking.
