  • ARTV 22300 /32300: Sculpture

    3.00 Credits
    University of Chicago

    PQ: ARTV 10100 or 10200, or consent of instructor. This course is a continuation of ARTV 22200 that deepens the student's understanding of the relationship between material and meaning. Because the nature of contemporary sculpture is often the opposite of what is expected, (i.e., fragmented, ephemeral, and soft, as opposed to solid, permanent, and heavy) material selection and manipulation play a vital role in creating sculptural objects. Context and spatial manipulation as strategies for art making are also emphasized, resulting in a project that involves site-specific installation. Slide presentations, gallery visits, and critical discussion supplement studio work time. Field trips required. Lab fee $70. G. Oppenheimer. Winter.
