ART 108: 3-D Design

Goal: An introduction to the techniques and concepts of three-dimensional design used in the making of sculpture. Students will learn to analyze works of art - their own and those of contemporary artists - using design principles. Students will learn to utilize some of the art methods discussed in class in making their own work. By moving freely from the classroom to the studio, students will gain an understanding of the rich correlations between developing ideas and content and making art works.
Content: Contemporary sculptures will be discussed and analyzed. Students will make artworks of their own, and then discuss how effective their studio projects are in terms of the assignment and the design principles. Students will also analyze objects and artworks in written form.
