| FA453: Figure Sculpture VI (the body) |
|
Students will begin to develop personal figure-based work while weighing and debating questions of the human body. Ongoing discourses in cultural meaning, medical advances and scientific inquiry may open to expression other aspects of human experience (health and disease, psychology, gender and identity). Knowing how characteristics of the human form relate to tools, vessels and architecture is particularly relevant to sculpture practice. Technical/material fluency will be achieved by focusing on one area of choice, such as a series or a life size full figure with attendant studies. Advanced student proposals and exhibitions provide a basis for debate and reference for critiques.
