Recycled and Found Object Sculpture

3 units

Through using only recycled materials and found objects, students will learn additive, subtractive, and assemblage sculptural techniques and gain an understanding of the principles and elements of 3D design. Students will also learn to transform their art practice into a more environmentally aware one. The class will also investigate recycled materials and found object sculpture in an art historical context and study a range of historical and contemporary artists working in this medium. The course builds creative problem-solving skills with an emphasis on sustainability.
