January 13, 2010- April 26, 2010

Prerequisites: Prerequisite: ARTHIST 109 and ARTHIST 209. Students with AP credit or prior experience must acquire the permission of the instructor to enroll.

Catalog Description: Students will continue to develop more advanced skills. Emphasis will be placed on in-depth study and working with ideas and techniques that will lead toward the development of a personal and independent body of work.

Semester Details: This course springs from a contemporary definition of sculpture: Sculpture as idea manifested in matter. This implies that sculpture is involved with materials and the process of "making". At the same time the evolutionary process of sculpture involves the continual reexamination of the definition of sculpture. The focus of this course is the experimentation with the ideas and media of sculpture. Emphasis will be on the exploration of contemporary issues in relationship to individual aesthetic choices. Students will pay a lab fee of $60.
