This course will draw upon some particular theme in sculpture as the basis for an on-going exploration of several separate but linked projects. While such particular themes as "public sculpture," or "cabinets of wonder" will vary from year to year, a consistent theme will be the linking of contemporary, post-modern, approaches to sculpture to earlier modern and pre-modern histories of artistic practice. Such historical material will be considered during seminar discussions and presentations. Seminars will also provide a forum for the critique of student work. Out of class studio work will be required in order to complete projects introduced and demonstrated during the class time.
Prerequisite: FINA 112/122 and FINA 271/281
