Sculpture

COURSE DESCRIPTION: This is an intermediate level art class. Students will create a variety of sculpture projects in wire, bookmaking, cardboard, paper mache, etc. They will also create ceramic pottery and if time allows, throw on the potter’s wheel. This class focuses on design, rather than imagery. If you like to build, rather than draw, this is the class to take. Students must pass the Fall Portfolio to attend the Nelson Atkins Field Trip in the spring.
