3.00 Credits
3 credits This course is designed to build on the basic skills and knowledge developed in Bookbinding 1. Students will explore more involved and complex structural models, including album structures, long-stitch and exposed spine structures, and boxes and enclosures. Other issues to be addressed include edition binding, and correlation of content, structure and material. The course is enriched by the examination of examples, attention to the history of artists' books, and field trips. Prerequisites: Bookbinding I Fulfills: 300-Level Printmaking Elective; 300-Level Studio Elective; Studio Elective

3.00 Credits
3 credits This course provides an in-depth study of a topic in Printmaking. The topic may be selected to take advantage of special events, to allow further exploration of a subject covered in a preliminary way in other courses, or to explore areas not sufficiently covered by the regular class rotation. Prerequisites: Prerequisites will be developed in conjunction with the course description for each topic. Fulfills: 300-Level Printmaking Elective (Printmaking Students); 300-Level Studio Elective

3.00 Credits
3 credits Sculpture I is an introduction to basic techniques and practices of sculpture using materials such as wood, plaster, steel, stone and found objects. Students work on a series of projects involving objects, constructions, installations and conceptual issues which culminate in comprehensive final works. Group critiques, class trips and slide lectures complement the in-class working sessions. Prerequisites: Three-Dimensional Design Fulfills: Sculpture I Requirement (Sculpture students); Studio Elective
-
1.00 Credits
1 credits This course investigates the basic skills and concepts of modeling from the human form. Students work in class from live models on a series of figure studies that stress form, structure, and gesture relationships. This course complements the figure analysis of Life Drawing I and the more conceptual concerns of 3D Design. Prerequisites: Fulfills: Figure Modeling Requirement (Printmaking and Sculpture Students); 1-Credit Studio Elective
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits In Sculpture II, students continue to investigate materials and processes relative to the three-dimensional arts. Students work on a series of problem sequences leading to final works investigating different issues than those encountered in Sculpture I. Prerequisites: Sculpture I, Fabrication Methods Fulfills: Sculpture II Requirement (Sculpture students); Studio Elective
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits This course covers basic methods of non-functional ceramics and investigates experimental use of clay as a sculptural medium. Students create free-standing, hand-built forms through the use of basic techniques such as: slabs, coil-building, press-form molding, carving and simple armatures. Issues of design execution such as volume, weight, color, form, choice of clay body and texture are also covered. Students gain an understanding of the transformative nature of the firing process as well as the properties of raw clay. Students use ceramic forms as a sculptural element and combine them with other materials to develop contemporary possibilities of a time honored material. An awareness of current discourse in an art historical perspective regarding the use of clay are addressed through discussions of such artists as Viola Frey, Ana Mendieta, Charles Simmons, Peter Voulkos, Judy Chicago and Kim Jones (a.k.a. Mudman). Prerequisites: Three-Dimensional Design Fulfills: Sculpture Elective (Sculpture students); Studio Elective
-
3.00 Credits
3 credits This course introduces students to a wide range of mold-making processes with which to create sculptural work. Students investigate the application of multiples in relief structures, free-standing forms and installation. Contemporary and more traditional techniques are explored using plaster, clay, wax, latex and paper pulp. Students work on a series of conceptually related projects providing the opportunity to explore personal aesthetic in depth. Slides, readings and documentation drawn from contemporary and historical sources supplement the course. Prerequisites: Three-Dimensional Design Fulfills: Sculpture Elective (Sculpture students); Studio Elective

1.00 Credits
1 credits Students gain an understanding of the material characteristics of wood through the proper use of tools and a variety of construction techniques. The course begins with a series of simple projects (a frame, a small shelving unit, and a box) that introduce the use of the table saw, miter saw, joiner plane, and several methods of joinery. Students further develop skills by planning and executing projects of their own choosing. More advanced methods such as spline joint, frame, and panel construction, and lamination procedures to produce curved forms are covered in the second half of the semester. The course will be beneficial both to those wishing to acquire woodworking skills for the first time and those who are already familiar with the basics and want to gain greater proficiency. Prerequisites: Three-Dimensional Design Fulfills: 1-Credit Studio Elective
-
1.00 Credits
1 credits Students learn technical and practical methods used to manipulate metals into objects of their own design. The course begins with the basic processes of oxy-acetylene bending, welding, and cutting, followed by more extensive methods of mig welding, plama cutting, brazing, and stick welding. The course is beneficial both to those wishing to acquire skill in this area for the first time and those who are already familiar with the basics and who want to gain greater proficiency. Prerequisites: Three-Dimensional Design Fulfills: 1-Credit Studio Elective
