An intermediate level course which expands on techniques and processes of sculpture such as: basic metal fabrication, mold-making, stone or woodcarving. Intermediate level topics such as site-specific sculpture or installation will also be explored. Emphasis is placed on building and strengthening technical skills, individual expression, and conceptual growth.
Introduction to the design principals and elements of three-dimensional form, exposure to contemporary sculptural concepts, and the historical evolution of sculpture. Students will learn sculptural concepts, techniques, media, tools, and vocabulary in order to further develop visual perception and skills in additive and subtractive techniques. Emphasis will be placed on traditional materials, technical information, and personal expression.
Advanced-studio level class building on the skills, concepts and issues addressed in ART 160C. To refine analytical skills and technical expertise in the exploration of contemporary art and ceramics issues and create a self-directed, unified body of work in preparation for transferring to university, art school, or professional activities.
Advanced ceramic forming methods using the wheel, extruder and hand-construction techniques, glaze formulation, advanced glaze application and kiln-firing processes. Lectures on the historical and contemporary uses of clay. Emphasis on advanced technical and conceptual development.
Continued development of skills used to create ceramic forms using the potter's wheel, and hand-construction techniques, glaze formulation, glaze application, and kiln-firing processes. Lectures on the historical and contemporary uses of clay. Emphasis on technical and conceptual development of ceramic design.
Introduction to developing ceramic forms. Basic methods of forming through the use of the potter's wheel, hand-construction, glaze application and kiln-firing processes. Historical uses of clay and its relationship to the development of civilizations and industry. Technical development and exploration of clay as a means for aesthetic growth.
Building on the previously acquired knowledge of 156A, intermediate students will further develop their understanding and abilities to combine various media and techniques with the goal of creating two and three-dimensional works of art. Contemporary issues and approaches are explored through lecture and demonstration.
Focuses on the contemporary practice and conceptual basis of selecting and combining various media and techniques into two and three-dimensional works of art. Contemporary issues and approaches are explored through lecture and demonstration.
In the context of contemporary and traditional printmaking approaches, students develop their aesthetic, critical, and creative thinking skills that expand upon photographic stencil and digital techniques introduced in ART 152A and 152B. Using various autographic, photographic and digital stencil creation techniques and multiple-color printing with single and multiple screens for limited-edition and one-of-a-kind fine art print.
Expanding upon the stenciling and photographic techniques introduced in ART 152A, this course covers various stencil creation techniques for exposure to photo-screens and ultimately multiple-color printing using single and multiple screens for limited-edition and one-of-a-kind fine art prints. In the context of contemporary and traditional printmaking approaches, students develop their aesthetic, critical, and creative thinking skills.
