ARTS 122 Introduction to Sculpture 6 credits
The ability to build structures that reflect or alter the environment is a basic defining characteristic of our species.

Using both natural and architectural objects for inspiration, we will examine and manipulate form, space, and expressive content to develop a deeper understanding of this core trait and reawaken our experience of the spaces we inhabit.

ARTS 327 Woodworking: The Table 6 credits
This class explores the wondrous joys and enlightening frustrations of an intensive material focus in wood. From the perspective of both functional and non-functional design, we will examine wood’s physical, visual, philosophical, and expressive properties. By utilizing sustainably forested hardwood from the campus and Arboretum—milled by the class at our department sawmill—our exploration naturally extends into the local ecology. This intimate connection to the wood's lifecycle prompts critical, hands-on reflection of our environmental relationship and responsibility as creators. Several short projects will culminate in an examination of the table as a conceptual construct and a six-week design/build challenge.
Recommended Preparation: Students without the prerequisite but with an intermediate level of woodworking experience should feel free to contact the instructor.
