ART 282 - Sculpture in the Expanded Field

This studio course examines sculpture as a spatial and temporal practice shaped by the human body, material transformation, and relationships to place. Students work with natural and found materials while learning ethical approaches to gathering and making. Through readings, case studies, and hands-on projects, the course investigates how sculptural form engages perception, environment, and personal meaning. Students will reflect on their own life practices, such as where they come from, what they wish to honor or release, and consider how authenticity and intention inform artistic work.
