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. In this class we explore creative construction in three dimensions using a variety of media, including plaster, wood, and steel. 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 220* Art, Interactivity, and Microcontrollers (*=Junior Seminar) 6 credits
In this hands-on course, taught (in an art studio) by a sculpture professor and computer science professor, we'll explore and create interactive three dimensional art. Using basic construction techniques, microprocessors, and programming, we bring together sculpture, engineering, computer science, and aesthetic design. Students engage the nuts and bolts of fabrication, learn to program microcontrollers, and study the design of interactive constructions. Additionally, students will deliver technical presentations describing their work and receive feedback for improvement. Collaborative labs and individual projects culminate in a campus-wide exhibition. No prior building experience is required.
