The majority of work is for use in textbook and journal publications with audiences ranging from children's books to post-graduate level scientific journals. Excellent observational and drawing skills as well as an aptitude for science are required. Most work is completed using scientific specimens and techniques such as pen and ink, half-tone, colored pencil, gouache, watercolor and computer imaging. Sculpture Sculpture consists of casting, welding and other techniques using plaster, clay, wood, plastics, metals and stone to create abstract and figurative work. Emphasis is placed on learning to work with form and space to develop an awareness of order and gravity.
Students become familiar with many industrial processes and their appropriate applications.
Extensive facilities for developing skills in plaster casting, clay modeling, carving, plastics, construction in metal, bronze casting and fabrication are provided.
