SCULP 4746

Building upon practices, techniques, and discourses covered in the first semester of the sculpture curriculum, Sophomore Sculpture Studio II will deepen existing fabrication skills while expanding knowledge into the realm of time-based and movement-based technologies and practices. This course encourages students to explore what matters to them and how to express those ideas while they experiment with hybrid and transdisciplinary working methodologies. 

As the semester progresses, assignments will guide students towards independent inquiries, focusing on both refining and expanding the context for their evolving artistic exploration. Readings, discussions, artist lectures, and research will elicit connections between ideas, narratives, histories, and personal work. Emphasis will be placed on material competency in plaster and casting, digital fabrication, and performance, providing a foundation for further research-based exploration. This will be augmented by Sculpture electives where students self-select into the areas they determine are most relevant to their artistic practices. 

This course is an opportunity to ask meaningful questions about the world—without always needing definitive answers. Throughout, students will be encouraged to take risks, make connections, and actively shape their educational path and burgeoning artistic practices with a focus on developing their individual voice.

Majors are pre-registered for this course by the department. Enrollment is limited to Sophomore Sculpture Students.
