[Art-mfastudio] Sometimes Art just needs to be realized in 3D - take a sculpture class!

[Carolyn Henne]

Hello MFA's,
Sculpture classes in the spring can support your need to realize your work in the realms of 3D and 4D.
Graduate students can register for a special graduate section of any of the courses listed below.

ART 3701C, Sculpture 2, T/Th, 12:30-3, Instructor: Prof. Terri Lindbloom
Prerequisite: ART 2701C
Sculpture 2 is designed to teach and develop formal and conceptual sculpture making skills.  Assignments will address certain fabrication techniques and concepts.  The purpose of this course is to build upon the skills acquired in Sculpture 1 and related courses and to investigate traditional and alternative techniques.  This course will also investigate  other processes and mediums related to the sculpture discipline to include video, sound, light, digital media, performance, etc.  Offered twice per year.


ART 4929C, Advanced Workshop: Automated Sculptural Systems, M/W 12:20-2:50, Instructor: Prof. Rob Duarte
Pre-Req: ART2701C
Students in this course will consider the fascinating history of electronic and robotic art while learning the technical skills required to create their own responsive, interactive, and robotic sculptures. The title of the course comes from a 1972 dissertation from an FSU doctoral student, examining the ways in which we can thoughtfully and critically analyze "Automated Sculptural Systems." We will examine historical works from this genre as well as their contemporary analogues. Students will learn tools and techniques required to make sculptures that observe and respond to information about their surroundings. To do this, we will find ways to combine electronics and mechanisms with traditional sculptural techniques and processes. Speculative design, robotic art, interactivity, sound and installation art are all topics that will be explored through this Special Topics sculpture course.


ART 4928C, Advanced Workshop: Iterative Making Thru Casting & Faux Techniques, T/Th, 3:35-6:05, Instructor: Prof. Carolyn Henne
Pre-Reqs: ART2701C
This course introduces students to various mold making and casting techniques and materials (plastics, rubber, plasters, wax, etc).   Processes and materials for making an object appear to be made of a different material (faux techniques) will also be introduced.  We will focus on the conceptual and practical benefits and challenges of making through iteration (repetition) through multiples and "faked materials".   Assignments will be designed to support and advance each artist’s research interests.  Class time will be used for discussions, formal and informal critiques, demonstrations, presentations, and independent work as time allows.  Offered once per year.
