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.



Who Should Take This Class?:
Students who are interested in developing a serious studio practice while expanding on their individual voices.
Learning Objectives:
  • Idea development through creative processes - learning to develop your ideas through the process of making.

  • 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.
