We've expanded
our three dimensional curriculum considerably in all mediums;
particularly metals, with the purchase of a 110 MIG Wire Feed
Welder. Sculpture 1 students begin working with wire and mesh
to produce small-scale works. In Sculpture 3, they progress to
utilizing found objects with scrap steel to construct larger
outdoor works.
These works
have generated an incredible amount of excitement and interest
among students. They have also provided many opportunities to
teach advanced sculptural techniques and concepts as well as
life skills.
Our sculpture
garden and outdoor work space is continuously expanding and evolving.
Stop by and check it out. |

All
students are required to keep a notebook that should be brought
to class daily. You will be expected to complete the following
for each project:
1. artist research (print
6 images from one or more artists, document info about artist/artists,
style, copyright info., explain your selections).
2. idea
development (sketches
& plans for each project, collecting resource images).
3. written
entries
for each project (one before entry, one during entry, and the
after self-evaluation; document and explain your ideas, process,
progress, and final product).
Notebooks
should also be used to record class demonstrations, presentations,
and critiques.
Glue or tape all handouts & assessment forms into your notebook.
What you're doing is important, so write it down and sketch it
out!
METACOGNITION = Think about your
thinking.
Notebooks will be collected upon completion of each project or
on critique dates.
