Description:

Sculpture I is a year-long course with no prerequisite. Students will examine their abilities and preconceptions of art by examining the use of art elements and principles in producing their own three-dimensional art. Sculpture I students will explore elements and principles of design, additive and subtractive sculpting methods, abstract and realistic design using various media to produce their own art. Students are expected to know art vocabulary and be able to critique and explain their art process. Sculpture I students will listen to short lectures, observe demonstrations, examine art examples, participate in various practice exercises and explore various media to expand their thinking and discover the intuitive process they possess for creating art. Note taking, research, PowerPoint creation along with their art production will be required to fully experience and understand the art process. Approximately 8 to 10 art pieces will be required at the completion of this course.
