| Description (ECIAD) | This studio course provides students with
production skills and relevant contexts pertaining
to the field of
contemporary sculpture. Students will learn about
a wide range of traditional and non-traditional
materials
and processes used in sculpture practice. Through
in-depth engagement with wood, metal,
textiles/soft
shop or mold making and casting, students will
engage with contemporary approaches to sculpture
and
develop studio projects in response to a variety
of themes and concerns within contemporary and
historical sculpture, which will include
experimentation with introduced materials and
processes such as
the use or transformation of found objects,
ecology and environment, collections and systems
of display,
and place-based or site-responsive concerns.
Seminars including slide presentations, as well as
group
critiques and discussions will familiarize
students with the critical issues and ideas and
approaches in the
field of sculpture and will develop students'
ability to contextualize their own work in
relation to
contemporary sculpture practices. |
