Sculpture I

3 Credits · Level: Undergraduate

Sculpture offers students the opportunity to express their creative drive and to objectify their ideas in three dimensions. Students work in traditional and contemporary methods and materials. The semester is structured around projects that introduce new materials, processes, and conceptual considerations. Assignments begin with demonstrations and example images of work by artists from different eras and by previous Sculpture One students. The semester typically includes the following assignments: life modeling a form in clay, experimental mold-making and casting, woodworking using constructive processes, and altering found objects. The projects are for entry-level students. No prior experience is needed, but a sincere interest in the subject is requisite. This course is not available to audit.
