Ideas in Sculpture and Design IA-0184

n this course, students will be introduced to many of the ideas that have shaped sculpture, three-dimensional design, and other elements within the built environment. The course will combine a classroom format with a studio component, giving students the opportunity to engage in research as well as study three-dimensional form and space, primarily through drawing. The class will also explore collage and sculptural reliefs. Please note: this is not a hands-on sculpture course. By means of slide lectures, studio work, museum field trips, group discussions and independent research projects, students will gain a greater understanding of three-dimensional art and design. Students will share their drawings throughout the course and keep individual design notebooks. In a final project, students will complete independent research in their own areas of interest and present their findings to the class through a variety of media. This course satisfies Division I distribution requirements. PRJ, PRS, REA, EXP, WRI.
