Course Overview:
Sculpture 1 is an introductory course into the three-dimensional world of visual arts. Students will be introduced to mold making, casting, carving, and fabricating through the use of various materials. Some of these materials will include clay, plaster, plastic, metal and found objects. Students will also learn about the various periods of history, styles and media that encompass sculptural practices.
Students will explore traditional methods of sculpture such as carving, as well as new and innovative ways of working such as installation art and ephemeral (temporary) art.
