  • ART 271: Sculpture I

    3.00 Credits
    Mount Wachusett Community College

    3 credits The aim of this course is to teach sculptural working principles that hold true of good sculpture, whether from earlier traditions or more modern ones. The course is structured with assigned problems that will engage the student in aspects of the traditional figure study in clay using nude models, and assignments aimed at exploring the "object" aspect of form and the varying spatial aspects that form its context. Subtractive techniques will be introduced. A wide variety of sculptural examples from cultures in prehistory or modern era will act as a source of sculpturalprecedent for individual initiatives in problem solving. The tectonic or building aspects of construction involving weight, mass, and durability will be put on par with the intellectual aspect of the creative process. Success in the course will depend on both. Prerequisites: ENG100, RDG100, or placement: ART252 or permission of the instructor/division dean. Fall.
