Through use of a variety of materials, three-dimensional fundamentals are investigated for formal and conceptual concerns as they apply to the visual arts. Class Description Form is a word which implies order, a state of being which is not chaotic.
Form has shape, and occupies space.
Students will unfold this seemingly simple concept of form in space. Students will become aware of the meaning conveyed by their actions and interactions with materials as they develop 3-dimensional forms in a variety of media. Through a variety of projects, students will become familiar with static and plastic 3-dimensional forms including manufactured objects, raw materials, the human body in space, forms and spaces created using senses other than sight, and ephemeral spaces in the digital realm. The level and type of interaction will vary in each of these areas. Recommended preparation Artistic production in any media.
