SC150-5 SCULPTURE I
3 credits per semester

This two semester introductory course explores three dimensional form and composition. First semester projects include modeling the skull, planes of the head, and a portrait from the live model. The second semester focuses on the total human figure with reference to bone structure, proportion, and balance. Each student constructs a half life-size skeleton and models the major muscle groups on their skeleton. In addition, each student creates a full figure sculpture from the live model, allowing integration of his/her knowledge of the human form.

SC220  SCULPTURE II
3 credits per semester

Sculpture II provides a structured transition from Sculpture I, offering a systematic method of modeling, casting and finishing a sculptured figure. It is a required class for all second year sculpture majors.  (It may be taken by juniors and seniors on a space-available basis and count towards fulfilling the Figure Sculpture requirement.)  Models will be provided throughout the course with poses of eight and seven weeks respectively.  Demonstrations will be given on constructing the total figure with additional methods of modeling feet, hands and head. Frequent class critiques will be held. Various methodologies will be explored in constructing a figure from memory as well as from the model with particular emphasis on producing a finished sculpture.

Composition will be discussed with emphasis on constructing the figure using composition concepts and devices. 

Prerequisite: Sculpture I

SC285 SCULPTURE II: Intermediate Figure
3 credits.

Develops the concepts and methods of the fall Sculpture II and offers students a further development in modeling, casting and finishing a sculptured figure. (This class may be taken by juniors and seniors on a space-available basis and count towards fulfilling the Figure Sculpture requirement.)  Models will be provided throughout the course.  Demonstrations will be given on constructing the total figure. Various methodologies will be further explored to construct a figure from memory and from the model with particular emphasis on producing a finished sculpture. Composition will be discussed with emphasis on constructing the figure using composition concepts and devices.  There is no lab.

SC270-5 SCULPTURE COMPOSITION II
1.5 credits

This course is an introduction to the process of concept formation and the manifestation of the concept into three-dimensional, compositional projects within the parameters of a set format. During the first semester projects are assigned to enable the student to see the various elements that constitute composition. The elements that will be address are rhythm, space vs. mass, alignment, timing, contained shapes, and more They are presented through the means of lectures and critiques. The projects of the second semester are treated as commissions and all the necessary requirements of such can be demonstrated through the use of the creative process. The creative process includes, but not limited to, the following steps: concept formation, written proposal, drawings, primary maquettes, and a final enlargement. With this knowledge of translating an idea into three-dimensional form, the student gets a sense of what it is to be a professional sculptor as well as being prepared to enter and manage the upper division classes with confidence.

SC260-5/360-5/460-5 FIGURE SCULPTURE (Life Size)
1.5 credits

The purpose of the Figure Sculpture courses is to provide students with a complete understanding of sculpting the human figure. This particular section of Figure Sculpture is designed for students who wish to work on a full-size figure from a male or female model. Special attention will be given to armature construction, composition, anatomy, gesture, and finish appropriate to the larger scale.  Because of the special demands of working larger, the class size will be limited to 12 students.  Preference will be given to students who have taken at least 1.5 credits of Figure Sculpture in addition to completing all of Sculpture I prior to registering for this class.  This course counts towards the BFA Figure Sculpture requirement. 

Prerequisite: Sculpture I.

SC250-5/350-5/450-5 PORTRAIT SCULPTURE
1.5 credits

Students model from life, at first using points and measurements. By training the eye in this way, the student begins to see and understand three-dimensional planes, forms, and the construction of the head and works toward achieving a likeness reflecting the character of the model posing. Throughout the course, students are encouraged and guided in developing their own interpretation of the model through a pose of the head and its expression.


Must take monitored section in conjunction with the course.

SC340-5/440-5  RELIEF FIGURE SCULPTURE
1.5 credits

Students will examine historical and contemporary masters, from Gilberti to Manzue, and apply their concepts to bas-relief and three-dimensional sculptural form. A series of twenty four hour life model poses (including monitored sessions) will be provided. Beginning with low relief, students will undertake a series of studies from the model to develop the necessary skills and techniques of observing three-dimensional form and incorporating forms into a relatively flat two-dimensional surface. Students will develop multi-figure reliefs in clay. They will progress to three-dimensional figure sculptures using the model as reference or working from imagination and knowledge of anatomy. The size of the reliefs will be 18” x 24” and 24” x 24” and will be made using plastilene.  The first semester will focus on low relief and the second will focus on high relief.  

Must take monitored section in conjunction with the course.

SC375 SCULPTURE COMPOSITION III
1.5 credits

This course is intended for Junior Sculpture majors in the BFA program. It is also open to students who have had at least a full year of figure study and two years of anatomy. The course involves students working with compositional concepts from ancient masters to contemporary sculptors. Assignments will be given which will be followed with a critique at the end of each assignment. This course will end with the completion of a project chosen by the student involving his or her own creative ideas that would prepare the student for the senior project.

Prerequisites: Full year of Anatomy I and II and full year of Figure Sculpture.

SC290-5/390-5/490-5 SCULPTURE ÉCORCHÉ
1.5 credits

This two semester course is designed for the third year Certificate student and the second and third fourth year BFA student. Each student will sculpt works on a pre-cast a half life-size skeletal armature, applying muscle groups in clay in strict accordance with the construction of the human figure. In both detail and as a whole, the figure is studied from the standpoint of form and structure. function and design. The central objective is to offer painters and sculptors the opportunity to study and construct a three-dimensional figure at a pace that is consistent with a thorough understanding of each phase of its anatomical construction.
