As such, after basic techniques of carving are addressed for both materials, other issues pertaining to subtractive and additive methods for creating sculpture will be explored. Studio time will be engaged with the consideration of mixed media and multiple forms within which the carved form will become a part of the composition. Assigned and student driven projects will be undertaken throughout the term. An on-going dialogue discussing contemporary sculptors1 work in these mediums as well as group and individual critiques of individual projects will augment the studio work. A field trip will be undertaken during the semester if time permits. Prerequisites: Sculpture I Fulfills: Sculpture Elective (Sculpture students); 300-level Studio Elective; Studio Elective
