Humanities Arts Cultural Stu 0293 - Materials and Metaphors: Found material sculpture

In this course we will consider found materials for their metaphorical value and their practical affordances. Students will develop a material research practice to help them manipulate, shape and join materials effectively. At the same time, they will reflect on, study and leverage the affective, cultural, and phenomenelogical content that found and re-used materials carry. This course will include exercises for touching, prodding, speculating and experimenting with materials and support for students to consider their material environments and develop their own expressive material languages. This is a hands-on, participatory course

In/Justice Class Fee: USD35 Students should expect to spend 6-8 hours weekly on work and preparation outside of class time
