| Object making and the impulse that drives it is different from other types of art production. The language of sculpture is as diverse as those who produce it. This course will expand the interests of individuals new to sculpture and ignite new possibilities for individuals already engaged in "making things." We will explore sculpture from many angles: exercises that ground the practice in three dimensions through the use of simple materials, other artists' work through slides and gallery and museum visits, readings about concepts and issues particular to contemporary practice, and problem-solving projects that will help the evolution of our personal sculptural vocabularies. Constructive critiques will enable us to analyze form and content. This course is for the beginning sculpture student and others who wish to explore the three-dimensional object in art making. |

| If you want to make your own stringed musical instrument or develop fine woodworking skills, this course will give you a good foundation. You will start by designing and building a uniquely American instrument: the Appalachian or mountain dulcimer. This beautiful instrument is relatively easy to build and to play. Even if you have little or no woodworking background, you will be able to complete a dulcimer. Students who finish in time may start a travel or "back pack" guitar. This popular instrument is light and easier to make than a full-size guitar. Both projects involve shaping, bending, and joining wood into delicate yet amazingly strong structures-skills that can be applied to a wide range of other fabrications and sculptures. Please note: Completing a dulcimer and a guitar will probably require shop time outside of class. |
