| FA354/454: Sculpture: Foundry/Advanced Sculpture: Foundry |
|
Students study and practice in-depth traditional and modern Lost Wax Processes of casting bronze and other metals will be studied and practiced in depth. Fostering technical competence deepens control of the medium and opens larger dialogues of personal inquiry and expression. Methods of wax-working (modeling, shaping, molding, constructing) will be used to translate ideas/feelings into form. Then foundry practices (investing, metal casting, finishing and patinas) make those forms richly permanent. More ambitious work can be proposed and realized as advanced students become attuned to the resonance of the medium. Critiques are measures of progress.
