Rose Hill: MTWTh, 09:00AM - 12:00PM

This course is designed for Visual Arts majors and non-majors who are looking to explore sculpture as a part of their ongoing work or interests. Over the month-long summer session, each student will learn introductory ideas and technical skills when making art in three-dimensions. Hand forming, basic casting techniques, making models, in addition to the utilization of digital media and readymade objects are among some topics. The aim of this course is to concurrently develop processes with concepts –to consider, form and reflect on an individual’s actions while in the studio. Ideas are just as important as their material manifestations, therefore participation, discussion, and textual expression are encouraged. In addition to studio work, students will have the chance to visit galleries, museums, and learn about contemporary practitioners of the field. Toward the conclusion of the session, each student will develop a cumulative final project that presents their respective interests and research through sculptural means.
