ARTT 005A. Sculpture I: Form, Material, Process


This course serves as an introduction to the foundational materials, techniques, and concepts associated with sculpture. Students will compose three-dimensional objects and spaces through studying the elements of form, scale, orientation, context and parts-to-whole relationships. Sculpture I emphasizes the development of skills in wood and other fabrication techniques available in Swarthmore’s MakerSpace. Hands-on demos and exercises culminate in creative studio projects. This course also introduces students to the expression of sculptural ideas developed through iterative studio practice. Each major course project will involve brainstorming, drafting, mocking-up, and reworking ideas. Sculpture I prepares students to move onto a variety of Sculpture II courses, where specific technical skills can be further developed and individual concepts are explored in greater depth.
