SCULP 4781

Sculptural Practices I will take students through three major practices that are essential to the study of Sculpture -- metal fabrication, woodworking and photography/videography. This course is designed to work in tandem with ‘Sophomore Sculpture Studio’ and ‘Sophomore Seminar’. Each section will serve as an introduction to the fundamental ideas within each practice, including artist references, relevant material resources, vocabulary, tools/equipment, and general safety protocol. Students are expected to investigate each skill-set by way of experimentation and research, extending their practice beyond scheduled class time in order to develop familiarity with the processes taught in class. Students can expect to learn proficiency in these skills as well as gain a deeper understanding of the contents of the Sculpture toolkit. They will be encouraged to revisit these processes and tools over and over again throughout their own development. Additionally, they can expand their knowledge through focused studio electives offered in Spring of Sophomore year and in their Junior and Senior years. This course is a requirement for all Sophomore Sculpture majors.

Students are pre-registered for this course by the department; registration is not available in Workday. Enrollment is limited to Sophomore Sculpture Students.
