ART 220 - Fundamentals of Carving

Institution:

Ilisagvik College

Subject:

Description:

A guide to the process of carving antler, bone, horn, ivory and soapstone using both hand and electric tools. Students will progress from easier mediums to more difficult, and choices in materials will be included. Students will become familiar with both traditional and contemporary I upiat artists' work from various areas of Alaska and other countries. Cost of tools and materials and methods of marketing work will also be explored. (Materials fee - $100) *Please note: Because the Marine Mammal Protection Act of 1972 restricts the possession and use of raw ivory harvested after 1972 to Alaska Natives only, and as this course uses this ivory, non-Native students will work with other materials because federal law prohibits their use of the raw ivory.
