ARTistic Pursuits: Sculpture Technique – MODEL

Product Description

Sample

It is the first of its kind to bring the processes and concepts of modeling with putty, pottery, and fiber arts into the home environment. Unlike craft books, the assignments in this book focus on processes of working with specific materials while introducing the elements of sculpture in ways students can put into practice immediately. Students work as sculptors, creating original works of art while selecting subject matter that is interesting and relevant to their own lives.

Course Description: The fundamentals of sculpture (mass, scale, surface) are emphasized through examples, artwork by contemporary sculptors, and projects in putty, clay, and wool felt. Critical analysis of artwork is stressed in the application of these fundamentals. Various media, tools, and building techniques are explored. Students arrive at unique solutions for 3-dimensional design problems as well as explore creative expression.

Unit Evaluation: Students complete an evaluation page to reflect on the element of sculpture, technical issues, and the subject of fine art as it relates to their completed sculptures within the unit. Answers are provided at the back of the book. This evaluation together with the completed sculptures provides a letter grade for each unit.

Media Introduced:

putty, air-dry clay, wool felting.

Course Credits:
Visual Arts Courses: A credit depends on the amount of time spent on the course. Students should keep track of hours for planning and sketching, observing sculptures on trips to museums and parks, reading the text and additional reading and investigation, project time and any additional projects initiated by the student in media of putty, pottery, or fiber arts.
