Interdisciplinary Arts 0341 - Advanced Sculpture

This course will provide advanced preparation for independent work in sculpture at the Division III level. Students will develop an independent body of work through assignments that increase in complexity and depth. The course culminates with a long independent project that proceeds from a written proposal. Students will work with steel, fabric, wood, concrete, plaster, found objects and other materials in the production of sculptural objects, installations and environments. Artists and movements that have shaped the contemporary dialogue in sculpture will be explored through slide lectures and independent research. A $60 lab fee will cover assignment based materials, but students may be required to obtain additional materials for the independent project from local sources. Prerequisite: at least one college-level sculpture course, preferably taken at Hampshire College.

Independent Work Course Fee: $60.00 Students should spend an additional five hours per week on this course outside of class time.
