Description
This sculpture course will be a chance to explore metals over the course of the semester. Beginners are welcome, and will be trained to use the metalshop and woodshop. Students who have taken previous courses with metalshop training can deepen their practice in sculptural space and form through learning new intermediate techniques. Students will use these new tools to create sculptural work that challenges their prior experience in scale and material. Class time will include slideshows on contemporary art, discussions on topics of context, time, and material meaning, as well as a trip to New York City to view exhibitions. Emphasis will be on developing personal projects and problem solving. Other material use will be allowed and encouraged in assignments—including performance, video, and installation.
