Description

This course offers a foundation in material processes for students wishing to create spatial art works in three-dimensional form. A range of basic processes are introduced to support the development of skills with a range of materials and techniques. Students will experiment with modelling and finishing works in clay, casting processes and sculptural assemblage. This foundation experience embraces contemporary art practice, also introducing students to the theoretical and conceptual dimensions of spatial art forms.
