ART 1170 - Sculpture I
Credits: 3
This freshman-level course introduces students to the structural, formal, and conceptual issues specific to the field of sculpture. Students will learn how to thoughtfully address these concerns early on through the construction of small sculptural models. After finalizing an idea, students will work on enlarging their sculpture to full size through a series of exercises that address topics such as structural integrity, material choices, aesthetic decisions, methods of display, and conceptual coherence. Furthermore, students will be introduced to a basic history of sculpture so that they can better contextualize their personal ideas through both historical and contemporary reference points.

- Design small models to demonstrate sculptural ideas in three-dimensions.
