"Four little houses closed up tight. Let’s open the windows and let in some light"

See what you like! The idea of using little houses is very easy to understand. Everyone at one point in their life have pass through multiple houses. Unfortunately I was not able to find small houses, so I decided to go with small fishes. The gills of the fishes allow them to breath the oxygen dissolved in the water. Water passes through their mouth and eventually it would pass through the gills. 

I choose hands because they pass thing but not in the same way that a cow udder does. My other ideas were more literal then this so I choose to go outside the box. 

Garden Hose

Cow Bells and Whistles

I picked cow whistles, its slightly ironic because if you think of cows you would think of bells rather than whistles. 

Light of My Teat

Lets try to be mature about this,

The Other Udder

This is Art.

"Haywire"

I went with electrical cords -- electrical currents flow through the cords like milk flows through the teats!

Puffy Paint

I decided to use mini puffy paint bottles because its completely off in shape, and it is an object that liquid can pass through. I thought that with using this object, after it is covered over with the newspaper, the shape will still be able to be seen easily and you will still be able to recognize what it is.

Snake Head Cow Teet

I decided to modify the cow udder with snake heads. The shape is still basically maintained as the snakes are rounded.  The snake heads don't normally pass milk but some shoot out liquid venom so its along similar lines but contrasting. 

I chose to combine shot glasses and the Udder.  I did this because i like alcohol and milk. If this was real you could drink the milk straight from the cow without making a mess.

Course Outcomes:     The objective of this course is to continue the development of personal expression through sculpture.  The course will reflect on the influences and conventions of sculpture beginning with the dawn of time through Contemporary Art.  The students will begin to develop personal avenues of expression using various techniques and mediums of sculpture.  The emphasis will be on this personal development and its impact on works in studies as well as finished sculptures.

Grading and Evaluation

Students will need to complete 2 major projects.  They will also present accompanying studies and intellectual research to substantiate these finished sculptures.  Studies from life and personal interests will be a major component of their work, therefore attendance is mandatory.  Five unexcused missed classes will result in the dropping of the letter grade by 1.  I will evaluate the content as follows:

Mid-Term Sculpture 30%

Blog 15%

Sculpture Studies 25%

Final Sculpture 30%

Blog

You will be responsible for a weekly blog post related to your personal avenue of expression.  Historical and contemporary sculptors should be used as influence and inspiration.

Critiques

Your finished major sculptures will be looked at and discussed critically with your peers.  Attendance and participation is mandatory.  This is one of the most important tools artists use to help reflect and improve their work.  I will be available for one private critique for each project to be scheduled during the semester.

Sculpture Studies

These studies or maquettes will consume a great amount of studio time during the semester.   They will be used to improve technique and as a guide through experimentation and exploration.  They should show a cohesive and substantial thought process and become more directly integrated to the 2 major sculpture projects.

Mid Term and Final Drawings

These sculptures are finished complex and take a great amount of time to develop.  They will be worked on during the semester on a continual basis.  The growth of the individual will be evident in their creative endeavors.  The second part of the semester will develop with the student’s choice of sculptor to research and develop their work in accordance with their chosen artist’s theme.
