ART 3430 - Wood Sculpture

This is a sculpture class with wood at its center. We will investigate our relationship to material and to the social space that furniture controls and creates, as a departure into sculptural form. We investigate a variety of techniques and processes for reimagining the built world through research, discussion, and making. We explore advanced techniques in woodworking through a series of exercises and projects. Students will learn wood fabrication, joinery, lamination, and equipment safety. This is an integral part of the intermedia sculpture emphasis designed to support and further develop student work.
