3-D Art/Sculpture

This course will offer students a chance to explore 3-d design and sculpture as they work with a variety of processes and media such as clay, wax, wire, papier-mâché, plaster, and found objects. Students will learn about the elements and principles of design and will study how past and present artists have used them to make effective 3-dimensional art for a variety of purposes and in a variety of styles. Students will apply, practice and demonstrate their knowledge through classroom exercises, assignments, projects, written artist statements, and tests, and will also be awarded points on organization, and participation in class and critique sessions.
