Object and Environment

Object and Environment is an Interdisciplinary Arts course taught by Gregory S. Kline.

This course satisfies Division I requirements. This course requires prerequisites.

Course Description
In this course students will explore the sculptural object as a self contained form and as an element within a found or created environment. Traditional materials such as steel, wood, plaster and concrete will be taught concurrently with more ephemeral materials including paper, wire mesh and found materials. Ideas originating within the traditions of modernism, postmodernism, minimalism, post minimalism, installation art and public art will be introduced through slide lectures, readings and independent research. The course will culminate in an independent project. An introductory level course in sculpture is recommended.
