Art creates meaning within society. The strongest art functions transculturally, as a voice of the present. This course seeks to guide students towards making meaningful work which communicates to its intended audience. Arriving late or leaving early will count as an absence. It is impossible to make sculpture or develop your artistic sensibility without devoting the necessary time.
Students are often surprised at how time consuming and labor intensive it is to make sculpture.
That means you MUST schedule fourteen hours each week towards this class. If you are unable to make this commitment, you will not pass the class. Each student will be given a sketch book at the beginning of the course. Use this to record your ideas, thoughts, drawings, sketches, lists, notes, etc. in relation to the course work and conference work. Periodically you will be required to turn in your sketchbooks for review.
