Course Descriptions


 
  
  • ART 102 - Three-Dimensional Design

    3 hours
    Students are introduced to the basic elements, organizing principles, and special considerations unique to three-dimensional design such as space, time, proportion, and gravity. Various construction methods are employed including assemblage, wood working, and carving. Course fee  applies.

    This course will satisfy the fine arts core area requirement. Offered every fall and spring unless otherwise noted.
  
  • ART 206 - Sculpture I

    3 hours
    Through thoughtful and skillful additive approaches, this course investigates structural and spatial possibilities. By examining and questioning the interplay of form, material, technique, and content, a conceptual understanding of sculpture will develop over the course of the semester. Investigations and demonstrations of materials, techniques, and processes will be balanced with slide lecture, discussion, and critique. Course fee  applies.

    Prerequisite(s): ART 102 

  
  • ART 260 - Ceramics I

    3 hours
    Introduction to the basic processes of making pottery and other clay products. The techniques include coil and slab building, piece molding, glazing and decorative techniques. Course fee  applies.

    This course will satisfy the fine arts core area requirement. Offered every fall and spring unless otherwise noted.
  
  • ART 301 - Sculpture II

    3 hours
    Further studio problems involving experimentation with techniques and materials such as wood working, carving, casting, assemblage, installation, and site-specific art. Investigations and demonstrations of materials, techniques, and processes will be balanced with slide lecture, discussion, and critique. Course fee  applies.

    Prerequisite(s): ART 206 

  
  • ART 309 - Ceramics II

    3 hours
    A continuation of the study of the techniques and design of clay products. Course fee  applies.

    Prerequisite(s): ART 260 

  
  • ART 414 - Sculpture III

    3 hours
    Works produced in this course will be articulated and developed conceptually. Both traditional and nontraditional materials and processes will be explored, including assemblage and experimental approaches to object making. Students begin to blur the line between a discrete object and an open system of construction, experimenting with installation art and alternative forms of presentation. Course fee  applies.

    Prerequisite(s): ART 301 . ART 414 should be taken prior to enrolling in ART 445 .
