Design Using every day materials, we will consider the basic elements of 3D design, such as volume, mass, weight, light, gravity, form, structure and space. Students will work through progressively more sophisticated problem-solving processes toward creative solutions. Sculpture - 2nd Semester Using clay and plaster as the sculptural mediums students will develop an understanding of the materials and their building capacities. Texture, scale, form and function will be explored as well as simple and multi-part molds. Painting Students will study visual perception through fundamental principles of painting.
Course work includes sustained studies of figures, still life, and landscape.
Advanced Painting Advanced Painting encourages students to work toward developing a related body of work while nurturing self analysis and critical thinking. Individuals and groups are encouraged to establish a dialogue between artist and their audience. Preparing papers and plates, editioning and print preservation will also be covered. This is a process by which all the color printing is done from a single block of wood rather than multiple blocks. Colors are printed from light to dark, creating an overlay effect.
