Course Overview
Course Sample(Adobe PDF Format)
Elective Option for BA Hons Creative Arts*
This course builds on the foundations laid in Sculpture 1 and encourages you to develop more ambitious ideas. Projects are more open-ended and demanding in size and composition than at Level 1 and you have progressively more scope to choose your own projects and how to go about them. You will continue to develop drawing skills and you will be considering sculpture in relation to architecture.
- Carving a figure in wood
- An abstract stone carving
- Life drawing
- Modelling a life figure in clay
- Modelling a standing figure in plaster
- Carving and construction
- Casting in concrete.
The course aims to introduce new techniques and materials; develop increasing independence and self-reliance as a sculptor; extend awareness of the importance of drawing as an adjunct to sculpture; develop a broad appreciation of the history of sculpture, public sculpture, and the debate between figuration and abstraction.
Five assignments including a written critical review. Students also maintain a learning log.
