An Intro to Sculpture

As part of this course, students will learn traditional sculpture techniques as well as expanded sculpture that incorporates Rasquache art, Folk art, readymades, and ceramics. This course is an inquiry into spatial realities where settler colonial history, tools, objects, and human bodies interact. The students will critically analyze objects that have condensed and abridged meanings and histories.

Movement and Forms

This course integrates performance, sculpture, theory and histories of activism. In this course, students will work in multimodal form to create sculptural objects, or props crafted out of wood, metal, found objects, molds, fabric and incorporate them into self-choreographed movement(s), performances, happenings or political actions throughout the semester. As a method of presentation, students may integrate components of video, sound, site-specific work and installation.
