ART 3390 - Sculpture: Textiles + CNC

Credits: 3
Course Type: Studio

In this course, students will learn how to use sewing machines and Computer Numeric Control (CNC) equipment. Students will learn methods for creating three-dimensional forms with textiles, and how to design for and run CNC tools and other vector-based digital fabrication equipment. Students will research sculptors who use similar fabrication methods and share their findings with the class. Upon successful completion of this course, students will fabricate a personal sculpture that incorporates components made using both sewing techniques and CNC cutting.

Prerequisites: ART 2290 Sculpture: Cast + Assemble , and Chair Approval
