Course Catalog Description:
This course will help you gain an understanding of the fundamentals of sculpture through a studio practice with a variety of materials, concepts, techniques, and styles. The course is an introduction to the inherent nature of materials, the development of form in real space, and the shops and tools with which to create sculptural forms in our state-of-the-art facilities. We will focus on the foundations of sculpture through hands-on demonstrations of basic sculptural processes: for example, carving, modeling, assembling, and casting. You will also be exposed to, and experiment with, the diverse range of approaches, work methods, and topics that have occupied sculptors both past and present. Students learn the proper use and function of the wood and metal shops, as well as a variety of other tools and techniques, including new technologies such as the Laser Cutter and VR (Virtual Reality), along with more traditional techniques such as metal casting, paper folding, clay, and plaster. You will discover your individual creative process and aid the sculptural articulation of your conceptual issues through discussion and critique of your class accomplishments. Critiques will be used as a tool for developing critical thinking and project development.

Class Description:
Welcome to Introduction to Sculpture. This course is an introduction to the inherent nature of materials, the development of form in real space, and the shops and tools with which to create sculptural forms. We will focus on the fundamentals of sculpture through hands-on demonstrations of basic sculptural processes, and you will also be exposed to, and experimenting with, the diverse range of approaches, work methods and topics that have occupied sculptors, both in the past and present. You will be introduced to the proper use and function of the wood and metal shops, as well as a variety of other tools and techniques, including new technologies such as 3d printing and VR, along with more traditional techniques such as paper folding and plaster. We will try to discover your individual creative process and aid the sculptural articulation of your conceptual issues through discussion and critique of your class accomplishments. The techs in the Department of Art have been working all summer on a safe physical distancing plan for all of our studios to ensure the safety of our students, staff and faculty. In the event that this studio class transitions to partial or fully online, each student will be supplied with a tool kit along with a variety of materials to take home along with instructions on how to set up a simple workspace in your home. We look forward to working with you in the fall semester.
Learning Objectives:

  • Obtaining familiarity and basic technical skills with various tools - learning to make objects.

  • Idea development through creative processes - learning to develop your ideas through the process of making.

  • Become familiar with the fundamentals of sculpture

  • Expanding your vocabulary regarding contemporary sculpture - learning to talk about objects.

  • Developing critical observation skills - learning to interpret meanings from objects

    • Exam Format:
    In this class we do not have exams. Instead we have group critique: Critiques are designed as an opportunity to receive critical and constructive feedback surrounding the work of a student.
    Class Format:
    The class will be divided 5 segments, Material: What is your sculpture made of? Process: What process do you use to make your work? Form: What form does your sculpture take?
 Content: What is your work about? Meaning? Context: Where does it belong in the world conceptually and physically? Demonstrations/Intro - During each segment you will get presentations and demonstrations on potential uses of different materials and tools and processes. Group Critique - each assignment will end with a group critique of the work.
