Offered as needed to present material in the Graduate MFA program. The specific topic is stated when the course is scheduled. May be repeated with change of content.
The clay figure. Introduction to direct-observation figure modeling in clay and human anatomy. This course will help develop a student¿s understanding of the human form in three-dimensions and inspire serious investigation into this universal subject matter. Mold-making and casting techniques, as well as mixed media approaches to figuration in art and design will be presented.
Individualized exploration. Exploration of three-dimensional art/design making and instruction in traditional and contemporary approaches to sculpture. The development of technical skills and exposure to a wide range of processes will be the emphasis. Students explore their own ideas and interests through assignments designed for broad and individualized interpretation.

Ideas and techniques. In-depth design and development of ideas, research methods and communication through 3D form. The interaction of form and content, refining skills, sophisticated techniques and a maturing sense of aesthetic direction will be the emphasis of the course. Current issues related to public art and contemporary sculpture will be addressed.
Advanced exploration in sculptural processes with an emphasis on the development of an independent direction in their studio work. Each student's individual expression will determine the exploration of materials, processes and themes. Demonstrations on contemporary trends in media/technology, individual critiques and discussions on contemporary issues in sculpture will be presented.

A continuation of advanced study in personal content, research methods and the development of an individual vocabulary in sculpture. Independent studio work coupled with regular individual critiques will support each student as they prepare a consistent, cohesive, and meaningful body of work for their final senior BFA exhibition. No prerequisites, C.
