FASC 363 Medallic Sculpture College of Art, Media & Design School of Art
1.5 credits 45.0 hours
300 level undergraduate course
The Medallic Arts have a long history beginning with monetary coins in the ancient world, developing through Renaissance medals into a vital and international art form that now includes small free-standing sculpture. The link between all of these is not only size, but the need for the work to have a specific communicative function, while at the same time exploring the contemporary sculptural issues. This is a studio course with a lecture component to give the student a history of the discipline. Projects are designed to challenge the student conceptually and to introduce forms and techniques such as bas relief, carving, mold making casting and fabricating, all on a small scale. There will be annual opportunities to exhibit the finished sculpture internationally.

3 credits 75.0 hours
600 level graduate course
Intended to assist students in establishing independent production in their major discipline while acquiring the ability to integrate studio production with the demands of off-campus life. At the conclusion of Summer I, the student and faculty mentor agree on a plan of work to be pursued during the off-campus semester, which is a continuation of work begun in the summer. The students are required to propose a direction for their investigations and have access to off-campus studio space in which to carry out the proposal. Enrollment in the Independent Studio requires a commitment of 150 hours, equivalent to 10 hours of studio activity per week during the 15-week off-campus semester. The studio mentor meets with the student five times during the semester at regular intervals, reviewing the student’s progress for a 1/2 hour session. The meetings take place at an agreed upon location (usually the student or mentors studio, or school). The last meeting is the final critique of the semester, which takes place at the Winter Critique held at the University.

GRFA 612 Independent Studio II College of Art, Media & Design CAMD Cross-College
3 credits 75.0 hours
600 level graduate course
Intended to assist students in establishing independent production in their major discipline while acquiring the ability to integrate studio production with the demands of off-campus life. At the conclusion of Winter Critique I, the student and faculty mentor agree on a plan of work to be pursued during the off-campus semester, which is a continuation of work begun in the previous semester. The students are required to propose a direction for their investigations and have access to off-campus studio space in which to carry out the proposal. Enrollment in the Independent Studio requires a commitment of 150 hours, equivalent to 10 hours of studio activity per week during the 15-week off-campus semester. The studio mentor meets with the student five times during the semester at regular intervals, reviewing the student’s progress. Meetings take place at an agreed upon location (usually either the student or mentor’s studio or at school). The last meeting is the final critique of the semester, which takes place at the Spring Critique held at the University.
