Woven Structures explores the relationship of hand weaving, technology and sculpture. Experimenting with material and pattern, this course examines traditional techniques of floor-loom hand weaving as well as use of the computerized loom to understand weaving as a cross- disciplinary practice.
Emphasis is placed on learning diverse 3D techniques, tools and materials as students create sculptures dealing with movement, emotions, narrative and non-objective/abstract subject matters. Sculptural concepts are explored through individual research, critical discussions and art production. Students experiment with mixed-media, and surface finishing.
Art Studio 361 is an introductory course in metal working skills, techniques and processes for producing sculptural forms based on traditional and contemporary ideas.
