Some ideas are best expressed in three-dimensions.

This studio is an exploration in working three dimensionally to understand the interaction between form and space. By experimenting with a variety of materials and techniques, including woodworking, mold making, casting, wirework, and site-specific installation, you experience the ways in which these choices affect a sculpture's form.

You investigate the concept of occupying space by considering line, plane, volume, composition, rhythm, balance, color, proportion, and scale as well as how context and presentation influence the perception of a piece.

Class discussions address ideas of positive versus negative, interior versus exterior, static versus dynamic, and representational versus abstract.

While creating projects that range from object-oriented pieces to experimental, time-based, and collaborative work, you explore conceptual approaches to sculpture in order to express ideas and issues.

This studio includes field trips exploring San Francisco's dynamic public art scene and museums.

Sculpture is paired with Ceramics & Drawing.
