Sculpture

Sculpture is about shaping space and manipulating materials to give them specific form and meaning. In this studio students investigate the concept of occupying space and are challenged to develop their own language to explore this idea.

Issues of line, plane, volume, composition, rhythm, balance, color, proportion, and scale are examined. The class discusses the concepts of positive/negative, interior/exterior, static/dynamic, and representational/abstract. Students work in a variety of materials and techniques, including assemblage, mold making, casting, and site-specific installation. Projects range from static, object-oriented pieces to experimental, time-based, and collaborative work.

Sculpture is paired with Drawing/Painting.
