-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. A continued development of sculptural expression using glass casting techniques. An intense mold making experience casting 3-dimensional glass projects in sand, wax, plaster, latex, and ceramic shell molds. (Spring)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. An expansion of what was learned at the sophomore level, integrating concept with craftsmanship to create engaging sculpture. Additional machines will be introduced and used such as the router, biscuit joiner, chainsaw, and lathe, while looking at specific considerations such as scale, how sculpture exists in space, presentation strategies, and personal voice. The projects are designed to give a wide berth for expanded thinking about objects, space, and materials. Prerequisite: ART 267 or permission of instructor. (Fall)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. Installation deals directly with engaging the viewer via the manipulations of the dimensional space, materials, and the ambient environment. This course includes explorations of a range of spatial strategies to promote an expanded understanding of the way that sculpture is made, presented, and experienced. The projects are designed to give a wide berth for expanded thinking -- conceptually, personally, and material-wise, and may use wood and/or a mix of materials and may be executed on or off campus. Topics convered include artists who have made installations, "technique of the week", building temporary walls, environmental controls, documentation, and creating effective proposals. (Spring)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. Advanced Paper/Mixed Media involves intensive exploration into issues of art making with emphasis on the development of each student's unique means of expression. It is a continuation of the basic paper/mixed media experience begun in the sophomore year with concentration on problem solving, development of ideas, and conceptual possibilities within the contemporary art practice.

4.00 Credits
4 hours. This course explores a range of spatial strategies and encourages an expanded understanding of the way that dimensional artwork is made, presented, and experienced. Installation deals directly with engaging the viewer via the manipulation of space, materials, and light. As appropriate to the ideas, the projects will utilize wood and/or a mix of materials and may be executed both on and off campus. Topics covered may include environmental controls, site specifics, building temporary walls, follow-up documentation, and creating effective proposal packages. Students less familiar may learn the basics of woodworking tools, machines, safety, and processes for building sculpture and installation work. Course may be repeated once for credit. Recommended prerequisite: ART 267 or a 200 level Sculpture course, or permission of the instructor. (Spring)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. A Junior sculpture course that examines foundry process and practice (lost wax and sand casting) to generate cast forms that are intended to be assembled by welding techniques (MIG&TIG) and glues. These forms can be used alone or in combination with stone. Stone processes will also be covered and can be used in combination or alone as the sculpture. Prerequisite: ART 253, 267, or 274.
-
4.00 Credits
This class explores the intersection of art and ecology through the critical inquiry of student-directed investigations. Topics covered may include ecology, environmental art, sustainability, and community activism responding to local ecological issues through use of creative methodologies. Prerequisite: ART 255 or permission of instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
This course examines progressive metal casting processes utilizing experimental mold making and furnace building techniques, new and emerging technologies, alternative materials and sustainable energy resources. Encouraging dialogue, the class is structured as a creative research group to gather information and develop conceptual responses to the act and art of casting. Prerequisite: ART 255.
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. A topical course providing students an intense immersion in both observational and conceptual drawing practices. Topics may include figure drawing, nature drawing, and drawing systems. May be repeated once for credit, preferably with a different instructor. Course content varies from instructor to instructor. (Fall)
-
4.00 Credits
4 hours. This course concentrates on clay, starting with an understanding of geology as it pertains to the uses of clay in ceramics. It introduces clay body formulation for traditional and experimental applications including casting, throwing, and sculptural uses. This course includes developing formulas for engobes and slips for the surface. 1 1/2 hour lecture plus 2-hour lab. Elective. (Spring)
