Description
This introductory Sculpture class is designed to introduce you to the world of object making. To make sculpture is to learn the craft of orchestrating relationships of material and process with form and presentation. It is to learn how a physical thing - an object - might suggest a feeling, embody an idea or elicit an intuition.
As an introductory sculpture course, you will explore the basics of sculpture - scale, form, volume, gravity, structure, extension etc. We cover both additive and reductive processes and there will be an emphasis on the development of form and structure particular to each process.
The other experience found within the course is more private and internal and concerns you becoming more cognizant of the way you think, more perceptive about the way you see. You will enhance your corporeal awareness in relation to material. These are for you to discover and are foundational to defining your voice.
