A wide range of materials and techniques from metal and welding to assemblage, from wood to experimental methods and media is explored in the service of three dimensional art making. Investigations of the specific qualities of three dimensional media (i.e. space, form, scale, mass) and how they can convey ideas are made within a contemporary framework. Artworks synthesize a particular choice and use of materials and a concept or expression. It is the aim of this class to develop this synthesis, and in so doing, begin to develop the students' own working creative vocabulary. Not open to seniors. Studio art supplies fee: $50.

Presentations and discussions will address historical and contemporary artists and approaches to art with objects, and will connect directly to the studio projects. Readings and films will also be part of the conceptual investigation of objects. The goal of this course is to provide a broad framework for art practice and to develop the skills needed to create educated and challenging art.
