The sculptural process is investigated by modeling, carving, fabricating and casting. Traditional and contemporary concerns of sculpture are examined by analyzing historical examples and work done in class. A continuation of ARTS 281 with greater emphasis on the special problems of the sculptural discipline. A continuation of the study of design strategies in digital media begun in Arts222, Digital Media 1. In addition to projects examining animation, interaction and paper design in more depth, the study of three-dimensional modeling and physical computing is begun.
Experimental work is encouraged.
Medium and large-format cameras are made available. The goal is a powerful body of work. Mixed media, video, and electronic imaging projects welcome. Also a continuation in etching with greater attention on advanced techniques in the various print media leading to more individual direction on the part of the student.
