Sculpture: Metal Fabrication

3 units

Metal is the backbone of our modern world, and it is a viable medium for self-expression. It can be employed as structure or as surface, it can be plastically deformed to create compound shapes, and it can be connected to most any other material. Students will explore the creative potential of this material in the fabrication of sculptural forms. Students learn to weld using both gas and electric arc machines as well as the safe operation of drilling, grinding, and finishing tools.
