Interdisciplinary Arts 0254 - Intermed Sculpt: Empha on Fig

This course allows students to focus on the figure. Students primarily sculpt in clay from live models. Perception and working from life are central issues. Through the observation of the figure, students study sculptural concepts of structure, proportion, gesture and the resulting image. Students are challenged to develop their individual approach and vision towards the human figure. Group critiques will encourage the development of a critical vocabulary. After working on many different poses, in the second half of the class a model is provided for students to pursue their particular interests concerning the figure. An outside independent project is also assigned to investigate their choice of figurative issues. Prerequisite: Introductory sculpture or drawing.

Independent Work Lab Fee: $90.00 In this course, students are expected to spend at least five hours a week of preparation and production outside of class time. This time includes studio work, reading, and research.
