ARTT 054F. Sculpture II: Casting

This course will explore a variety of different casting methods, techniques, and concepts. Students will learn techniques for making one- and two-part molds and will be encouraged to work from both found objects and sculpted forms. Over time students’ molds will become more complex and intricate. The class will also experiment with life casting; algisafe will serve as our initial material. Over the course of the semester students will have the opportunity to explore a range of materials. This course will include a field trip to a foundry and an introduction to the process of metal casting.
