Prospective Course: Fine Art Sculpture
Presented by Ms. Erin Meyers
The prerequisite for this course will
be the successful completion of Crafts 1, or permission from the
instructor. Emphasis will be on utilizing and building on acquired
skills and knowledge gained from working three-dimensionally in the
previous course of Crafts 1.
This course will introduce the scope
and methods of fine art sculpture using clay, metals, fibers,
paper-mache, plaster, cement and found objects. In addition to
individual creative endeavors, students will partake in group work to
create larger works and installations. Hands-on work will be accompanied
by studies in art history, as well as critical thinking exercises.
Students will be presented with such problems as overcoming limitations
of specific materials and the laws of nature, while focusing on the
inclusion of the elements and principles of art.
