Sculpture I
Available to students grade 9-12
Ready to get your hands dirty and make things that that have form and substance? In Sculpture, three-dimensional art making concepts are explored through a variety of techniques, including free-standing form, figural, relief sculpture, mobiles, stabiles and assemblage. Understanding the steps in the design process, such as brainstorming, drawing, creating armatures and finishing techniques are covered through a range of projects that evolve from the experiences and interests of the student. Students will explore the materials used in 3-D art making such as paper-mache, wire, plaster and recycled/found objects. Hand and power tools are used frequently in class. Students selecting Sculpture I at the Honors level will be required to complete additional assignments. A sketchbook is required.

Sculpture II
Available to students grade 10-12 that have successfully completed Sculpture I
Continue to explore, build and develop your skills with hand and power tools in Sculpture II. Using the similar materials and processes from Sculpture I, students will design and create larger and more complex three-dimensional forms. Students are expected to develop their problem solving and divergent thinking skills. Students selecting Sculpture II at the Honors level will be required to complete additional assignments. A sketchbook is required.
