Advanced Sculpture focuses on student-driven projects, moving forward from the material investigations and three-dimensional concepts introduced in Sculpture One. Students will gain deeper knowledge of sculpture history and the veins of contemporary sculpture. Initial concept development will be tested in multiple material experimentations and supported with additional workshops in new materials. Students develop presentation skills including more nuanced finishing details, installation strategies, and verbal and written articulation of ideas. Areas of inquiry include, but are not limited to--site and body, objects and props, monuments and ephemerality. Course work includes three projects with graded stages of development, readings with written responses, workshop exercises, installation and critique, and field trips.
