Description
The fall semester emphasizes figurative sculpture with a focus on the self-portrait. Constructing methods for coil, slab, and casting are introduced; form and the conceptual potential of the figure are primary considerations. Glazes and a variety of surface treatments are layered and applied in multiple firings, with attention to the operations of gas and electric kilns. Students study the history and contemporary uses of the figure and representations of the body in global art practices. Group discussions, individual critiques, and journaling augment the studio experience to develop communication skills for analysis and critical thought.
