ART 3420 - Figure Sculpture I

Course focuses on exploring the figure as a three-dimensional form. Students work directly from the model to gain knowledge of figure structure, gesture, scale, proportion and composition, as well as considering how the figure engages with space. A variety of sculpture processes are used to investigate the figure including clay modeling, carving, mold making, and fabrication techniques. Contemporary ideas in figurative sculpture will be explored through readings, lectures, and discussions.
