ARTS 1138 Introduction to 3D: Sculpture

An introduction to sculpture and 3 dimensional thinking, this course we will use a variety of materials including paper, wood, organic material, found objects, and light to explore concepts around materiality, nature, play, objecthood, and what it means to be a human in space. Students will be introduced to a variety of skills such as woodworking, 3-D printing, and model making. Through critiques, weekly discussions, reading assignments and field trips, students will develop an appreciation of themselves as people who think through making and the role of sculpture and 3-D thinking in society. Highly recommended for students pursuing the Architectural Studies concentration.
