Objectives On completion of this subject students are expected to have developed a capacity to solve fabrication problems through additional technical instruction in both the wood and metal workshops; an understanding of the language and definition of terms commonly used in sculpture such as line, shape, form, weight, mass, density, surface, texture, light and space; a greater awareness of safety issues in the metal shop and wood machine annexed with the use of electric hand tools and potentially unhealthy chemicals and materials.
Synopsis Since this is the first opportunity for students to study a chosen subject in some detail, every effort is made to discover a student's individual aesthetic, materials, process, subject and historical bias. Students are encouraged to try any number of different approaches until one that suits them personally is found.
