Description:

Art History This course investigates the practical aspects of making sculpture together with a detailed study of the history of modern sculpture in Europe and North America. Weekly lectures focus on the work of an individual sculptor or group of sculptors, and a workshop illustrates some aspect of studio practice. Students learn firsthand how technical processes and the character of materials affect the development of modern sculpture- in clay, wax, and plaster modeling, and in different methods of casting, carving, welded construction, and fabrication. Students undertake significant critical reading and writing assignments while also developing independent studio projects based on course work.
