Course Information
Description
This studio course introduces students to the fundamentals of sculpture through an emphasis on materials, process, and making. Working across a wide range of substances, including plaster, wood, paper, resin, found objects, and unconventional materials such as food, students will develop an understanding of how things are constructed, transformed, and experienced in three dimensions. Through close study, material research, and hands-on experimentation, the course encourages play, curiosity, and risk-taking alongside the development of foundational sculptural skills. Students will engage with strategies of form, structure, surface, and spatial thinking, building a critical and tactile awareness of how materials carry meaning
