Overview
DESCRIPTION:
Studio practice in sculpture. Advanced fabrication techniques. Construction techniques and concepts. Production of large-scale work. Development of artistic portfolios.RATIONALE:
Contemporary sculpture appears in increasingly diverse media and contexts. Sculpture using everyday life, the socio-economic and political landscape as an arena for “sculpting” society, by using science and new technologies are some current 3-dimensional strategies. An expanded look at sculpture allows students to think critically about the environments they live in and to be able to articulate their own responses. To sculpt today is to shape our perceptions of our bodies, ideologies, belief systems and the environment, and also to physically shape that relationship in relation to the way in which we both activate and utilize our immediate worlds.LEARNING OUTCOMES:
As a result of taking this course, the student should be able to:
1. Analyze the effect that both 3-D forms and environments have on a viewer/participant physiologically, psychologically, and functionally.
2. Apply 3-dimensional concepts and physical prinicples.
3. Examine the work of noted artists who have used sculpture.
4. Formulate an artists’ statement.
5. Compose an artists’ portfolio for advanced studiesMETHOD OF TEACHING AND LEARNING:
