Objectives On successful completion of this subject, students should be reasonably familiar with and understand key conceptual issues relating to sculpture; be able to discuss critically the contemporary, theoretical, historical and aesthetic issues relating to sculpture; be experimental and innovative in their use of materials and concepts; be able to independently research and resource materials relevant to individual needs and interests; plan `site specific' works and deal with the practical issues and theoretical underpinings that such work raises; demonstrate continued safe workshop practices.

Synopsis This studio practice deals with sculpture of a permanent and non-permanent nature, with an emphasis on experimentation in ideas and materials. Formal and informal seminars discuss contemporary attitudes relating to sculpture and provide a forum to review and critique work produced. Students are encouraged to discuss and hone the concepts employed in their work developed from their first-year study.
