Class Details

This studio art course will introduce you to the foundational skills necessary for designing and building forms such as sculpture, furniture, apparel, and architecture. You will make three-dimensional objects in a variety of media. You will gain confidence in your design abilities as you work quickly through many ideas and take risks in seeing your ideas to fruition. Through a series of short in-class and homework projects, you will explore the following themes: function and form; part to whole relationships; how bodies and forms occupy space; scale; additive and subtractive processes; organic and man made forms; mass, volume, and visual weight. You will learn about the design process by creating drawings, sketches, study models, mock-ups, and ultimately finished objects. Since this is a studio art course, additional outside-of-class time will be expected for you to complete assignments. We will have a critique for each project, which will help you learn to articulate your ideas. In this course, beauty is yours to define: there are no preconceived solutions for each project, and there is ample room to discover.
