Introduction to Sculpture
Grades 11-12

Fall Trimester 

Division:  Upper School

Department: Fine and Performing Arts:  Visual Arts

Course Title/Code: Introduction to Sculpture               Art 473   

In this class the students will learn to use clay, wire and plaster to create 3 dimensional artworks. The students will learn to develop their ideas on paper, build small models and then executing their ideas to the desired scale. Studying master sculptors will help the students  in creating their ideas and to see what elements go into a sculpture for it to be a successful work of art. Aesthetics are very important, technique is very important- one can not make strong artwork without having a statement to make and without having the technical proficiency to present that statement clearly.
