“I’m in love with the shape of you”

Art can speak for itself.

Sculpture is a class offered on campus that combines students in a multilevel platform.

The course starts with an introductory level and includes a I, II and III option, and is four of the classes needed for the Associates of Arts Degree in Sculpture. It is taught by instructor Greg Gilbertson.

Students learn how to work with a variety of materials and create woodworks, stone carvings and clay moldings.

Gilbertson said some of the students speak little English, but that doesn’t hinder their art from being good.

Students are able to gain an understanding of sculpture concepts, vocabulary, materials and processes through the construction of three-dimensional objects.

The class includes a lecture and lab that meets on Mondays from 9 a.m. - 3:25 p.m. or Tuesday and Thursday from 11:10 a.m. - 2:20 p.m.
