Sculpture: Multiples as Transformation

3 units

This studio course will explore sculpture through the creation of multiples. We will think through sculpture as alchemy, considering how a shift in material changes an object's meaning. We will learn to adapt objects through both digital and physical processes, applying 3D printing and mold-making techniques. Our studio practice will be supported by a discussion of artists working in the field, with readings, guest lectures, and group discussions that situate our studio conversation in a contemporary art dialogue. Skills covered: metal casting, ceramic plaster molds, silicone rubber casting, 3D scanning and printing. Open to students with no experience in art and design. Prerequisite: sophomore standing or higher
