This course is an introduction to the materials, methods, and concepts of sculpture. We will investigate making in relation to material, time and space. We will consider aspects of sculpture such as meaning, scale, process, social engagement, ephemera and site; and explore the formal properties and expressive potential of materials including mold making and casting, wood, metal and experimental media. We will combine the use of materials and methods with ideas that reflect the history of contemporary sculpture. Demonstrations and authorizations will provide students with experience and technical proficiency in sculptural production while readings and slide lectures venture into the critical discourses of sculpture.

Metalworks is a let¿s-get-to-basics class for working with steel. Join the class to learn basic metal fabrication, including: cutting, forming, forging, welding and finishing. This class will guide you as you build your projects in steel. You¿ll learn about structural systems and histories relevant to art and design with an emphasis on techniques and methodologies relevant to metalwork. You will integrate your learning to produce a set of finished works using historic and contemporary technologies. If it¿s metal, It¿s here. Designing, Fabricating, Forging, Finishing. Make it in metal.

This core seminar provides a grounding in concepts, histories, practices, and potentialities of 'Sculpture in the Expanded Field.' It is designed to develop students¿ oratory, reading, and writing skills in direct relationship to their work. This seminar will also inform and support students' careers through the development of a critical knowledge base and understanding of how to position their work within relation to the evolving field of contemporary sculpture. In addition to specific themes identified by the course instructor, this class examines sculptural practice within the ecological imperatives of futurity.

Taken every semester, the Graduate Projects courses allow students to focus in private sessions on the development of their work. Students register for 6 hours of Graduate Project credit in each semester of study.
