Intro Sculpture: Sculpture in the Digital Age

3 units

This course considers sculpture in a digital age and introduces key fabrication technologies. Digital and material reality co-exist and create a constant duality. How do we as artists negotiate these parallel spaces, creating insight into their co-existence and potential for reciprocal impacts? Students will use 3D scans and CAD rendering processes to transform elements from our surroundings into digital space where they can be adapted without limitation. Afterwards, students will return these altered forms to physical form, using 3D printing and fabrication in wood, metal, and moldmaking to realize their creations. Student work will be evaluated individually through critique sessions.
