College of Art, Media & Design School of Art

3 credits 90.0 hours
200 level undergraduate course

Explore the potential of form making through the processes of modeling and carving. Various materials-plaster, wax, clay, resins, wood, foam, and stone will be investigated and used in traditional and nontraditional ways. Trace the histories of these processes, learn how they are used in contemporary sculpture and invent possible future applications. Perceptual modeling and the creation of abstract forms will reveal the communicative power of form making and develop visual acuity. Visual analysis, problem solving and critical thinking skills are developed through group critiques, seminars and one on one meetings with faculty.
