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.
