ADVANCED SCULPTURAL PRACTICE

Catalog description

(Repeatable for credit) Course is self-directed, in which students create a series of sculptural works in consultation with the instructor and through ongoing student-led presentations, discussions and in-progress and final critiques. Emphasis is on creating a body of work throughout the semester that is informed by and demonstrates an awareness of contemporary practice in terms of approaches to content, form and presentation. Students can work in a variety of ways: object making, installation, site-based and/or time-based approaches. Research and writing are emphasized. Readings, slide presentations, discussions and critiques help provide context and vocabulary for student development.
