Advanced Sculpture Studio, ARTS 242 builds on what students learned in Sculpture l. Students define and articulate various sculpture projects with faculty help and attempt to objectify their ideas and visions using a larger array of tools, techniques, and combinations of materials. More time is given to the consideration of contemporary sculpture concerns. Second, third and fourth semester sculpture students address a common assignment at the start of the semester followed by individual projects. This semester gives each individual time to develop his/her skills as well as to explore and objectify ideas and feelings. Sculpture projects are carried out in stone, wood, fired clay, welded steel, and casting materials such as: hydracal and cement. Work in these materials requires time to develop skills as well as refine ideas. Ideas for sculpture can be based on a concept, a process or a material. Through discussion with the faculty member the student defines a project and goals. The student often pursues his/her idea through a series of two or three pieces of sculpture to develop, improve on, and to enrich the initial inspiration.
