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.
