Description: Sculpture offers the student the opportunity to experience three-dimensional design through the use of various materials such as paper, cardboard, clay, plaster, stone, wire and "found" materials. the student will develop the ability to fit the materials to his/her own creative ends. Emphasis is placed on the elements and principles of art as they apply to the creation of three-dimensional form. A portion of the class time will be spend viewing the work of famous sculptors in order to gain an appreciation and better understanding of the sculptural concept. Each semester the class takes a field trip to a museum, work site, or sculptor's studio. Sculpture II is an extension of Sculpture I; exploring on a more sophisticated level, those skills and techniques learned during the first semester. Both levels function during the same class period, but level I techniques must be handled proficiently before a student can take the advanced level. Credit:
1 per semester (for each level) *Due to high cost of some materials, students may be asked to provide/purchase sketchbooks/materials/tools at their own expense and also pay a studio fee. |
