Three Dimensional Studio Arts

All studio courses are one-unit courses and meet five hours per week. Students interested in an Art and Art History major should plan to take AAH131 Drawing I, the pre-requisite for upper-level studio art courses, as soon as possible. See the Foundations page for more information.

Sculpture

Sculpture courses offer a variety of ways to create and express in three dimensions. Students are taught how to use a range of media and tools to make their works. Depending on the semester, students may learn to build with clay, cardboard, plaster, wood, metal, fabric and found objects, always with a focus on idea development, concept and context.

Instructor: TBD

The sculpture facilities include a community workspace, a woodshop with a bandsaw, compound miter saw, belt and disk sander and a welding studio with a shear, slip roll and 2 MIG welders. See also Ceramics.
