Introductory Sculpture: Idea Material Process

Catalog description

This course introduces sculpture as an expansive and interdisciplinary practice. Rather than beginning with a single material or technique, students start with ideas and themes, then identify the most effective materials and processes to communicate them. Emphasis is placed on context: how works are shaped by placement, proximity, history and cultural references. Through studio production, readings, artist lectures and class discussions, students will develop technical skills, critical thinking and conceptual fluency. The course encourages experimentation, collaboration and cross-disciplinary exploration, positioning sculpture as a vital means of engaging with the world around us.
