Our flexible 3D concentration lets you choose your individualized path toward working in three dimensions. You will gain the conceptual, aesthetic, and technical skills needed to build confidently with materials and work with the challenges and dynamics of space. In our popular glass courses you'll learn the tools and methods of fused, cast, and flameworked glass. We also offer courses in sculpture, wheel-thrown and hand-built ceramics, and special topics courses in 3D studio art.
Upper-level BFA students have access to semi private studios, well-lit and well-ventilated, in the art building. Illinois Wesleyan's Virtual Reality Lab may also be of interest to students of 3D exploring a Special Individual Project or Honors Project on human-computer interactive art.
Select eight courses from: ART 125, 137, 139, 225, 237, 239, 302, 337, 339, 381, 437, 439, 480, 497.
Two-dimensional Art, Art History, or BUS 240.
An introduction to glass-working techniques using electric kilns. Explores glass fusing and casting as medium of aesthetic expression and develops an awareness of selected historical and contemporary methods of making glass art in the kiln. Critiques, group discussions, research and information gathering assignments, lectures, and demonstrations complement studio work. (AR) Offered each fall.
Introduction to three-dimensional problem solving and to sculptural processes and concepts. Explores sculpture as a medium of aesthetic expression and develops an awareness of selected historical and contemporary trends in sculpture. Critiques, group discussions, research and information gathering assignments, lectures, and demonstrations complement studio work. (AR) Offered occasionally.
Introduction to ceramic processes and concepts. Explores ceramics as a medium of aesthetic expression and develops an awareness of selected historical and contemporary modes of ceramics. Critiques, group discussions, research and information gathering assignments, lectures, and demonstrations complement studio work. (AR) Offered each semester.
This course explores the fundamentals of kiln cast and flame-worked glass. Both historical and contemporary ideologies of these glassmaking techniques will be discussed, researched, and put into practice. The technical basis of the class is equally paired with assignments that encourage and promote thoughtfulness with gained hand skills. (AR) Offered each spring.
