3.00 Credits
Emphasis is placed on contemporary approaches to cold glass work, moving past the media's typical utilitarian uses and focusing on glass as a sculptural material. The techniques of cutting, etching, laminating, and sandblasting are covered. Analysis of historical and contemporary issues in glass; both in terms of media usage and concept development as a point of departure to create unique works that exploit the unique properties of glass is covered. Prerequisite: SCPT 115.
-
3.00 Credits
Students in this course learn to manipulate glass with hand and power tools. They also use available slumping and fusing technologies with digitally controlled glass and annealing kilns to explore the medium and its conceptual applications. Prerequisite: SCPT 115.
-
3.00 Credits
Students are introduced to the traditional techniques involved in carving stone and are expected to learn the safe, appropriate use and care of tools. Studio activities include the use of drawing as an ideation tool and the creation of maquettes as a tool to understand the development of form. Lectures, discussions, reading assignments and independent research complement studio work and develop conceptualization skills. Prerequisite: DSGN 102.
-
3.00 Credits
Maquettes, models and 2-D support materials are important parts of sculpture, as well as public art. This course focuses on the technical application and construction of support material used in proposing successful projects. Students learn a variety of hands-on skills and techniques to clearly communicate developed concepts in a visual context. Prerequisite: DSGN 102.
-
3.00 Credits
This course explores the relationship between digital tools and sculptural practice. Lectures and hands on activities are supplemented by 2-D vector based programs, digital photography software and 3-D modeling programs. Students learn how to use the computer as a design tool for sculpture and to prepare files for various outputs. Prerequisites: CMPA 100, SCPT 115.
-
3.00 Credits
This course is an introduction to basic foundry techniques, designed to teach students the principles and vocabulary of cast metal. Through a variety of projects, students demonstrate the ability to translate and develop a sculptural idea through the processes of modeling, mold making, casting, and finishing, including patination, polishing, and other metal finishing techniques. Prerequisite: SCPT 115.
-
3.00 Credits
The history and application of direct metal sculpture techniques is the focus of this course. Basic welding and forming techniques provide the basis for the exploration of 3-D form and sculptural practice. Emphasis is placed on the proper and safe use of equipment associated with creating welded sculpture. Students explore how line, plane and volume may be used as modes of sculptural expression. Prerequisite: DSGN 102.
-
3.00 Credits
By examining the chronological development of sculptural practices and applications in a studio environment, students in this course gain a stronger understanding of the origins of contemporary sculpture while examining their personal role in relation to applications, contexts and trends. Studio projects are based on research and understanding of sculptural developments since 1945. Prerequisite: SCPT 115.
-
3.00 Credits
The sculptural portrait in the academic tradition, and the use of the sculpted head and figure for expression, are the starting points for this exploration of contemporary portraiture issues. Students expand their observational skills to produce detailed and accurate works from direct observation. Additionally, this course addresses specific issues related to the completion of realistic portraits in direct and indirect methods, including bronze, cast resins, plaster, clay, and alternative materials. Prerequisite: SCPT 205.
-
3.00 Credits
Traditional materials are utilized to sculpt the human figure in the academic tradition. Detailed and accurate works are created with emphasis on accurate proportional rendering of the figure(s). The course covers specific issues related to the completion of realistic figurative sculpture, such as use of preliminary studies, references and anatomical resources, professional armature construction, use of materials, molds, and more. Prerequisite: SCPT 205.
