3D Studio Art II: Ceramics & Sculpture

3D STUDIO ART II: CERAMICS & SCULPTURE COURSE DESCRIPTION

In this course, students will continue the exploration of making three-dimensional works of art in

clay, paper-mache, plaster, wire, celluclay, collage and recycled materials. With each material,

students will learn what qualities are unique to each process. Mobiles or stabiles may also be

constructed. Work will be functional, decorative and/or symbolic in nature. Emphasis will be on

the application of previous skills and techniques and students will also explore the history behind

art-making and think about the purpose of creating their own work. This course replaces the initial

Advanced 3D Design course.
