ART 307 - 407, Sculpture, Spring 1999

Abstract

The purpose of this course is to continue to explore the concepts and construction of sculptural form through various projects designed to challenge the student in conceptual and technical processes. You will need self discipline and motivation and individual vision, as advanced sculpture reaches more deeply into the realm of ideas. Technical instruction will be given on processes needed to further clarify your personal expression. The course will continue to emphasize the development of creative problem solving skills, conceptual awareness, and the selection and use of materials. You will be expected to strive to deal with contemporary issues and current directions in art making, though you don’t have to work on the “cutting edge”. You should let your personality and personal concerns come through. Be prepared to discuss your ideas and your work in group situations, and to give and to receive constructive criticism.
