Sculpture

The focus of this course is on the creation of three-dimensional works of art. Each sculpture you create will build on your foundation of the elements and principles of art and incorporate key fundamentals of form such as mass, natural made, human made, organic, geometric, hard form, soft form, open form, closed form, positive and negative space. You will apply the elements and principles of design in creative ways to solve or resolve visual and structural problems. Describing, analyzing, interpreting and judging final pieces will be a key part of the oral and written critiques. Students will also investigate sculptors through research and writing and develop a piece based on an artist’s work. A background in art and design is required to be successful in this class.
