ART 122 MOLD MAKING AND CASTING

SCULPTURE, Art 122a, Mold Making and Casting
123 36 Edgewood Tuesday 3:30 – 7:20

This course offers instruction in the practical aspects of mold making and casting in a variety of materials and techniques. The objective is to provide students with the principles of this traditional technology and infuse these techniques into their practice and creation of sculpture. A foundation in how objects around us are reproduced is essential for the modern sculptor in a culture of mass production. Contemporary issues of art and culture are also discussed. Students are introduced to four major types of molding techniques: waste molds, piece molds, life casts, and flexible molds. Materials fee: $75. Jon Conner
