SCULPTURE Art 448a, Sculpture and Questions of Definition
204 36 Edgewood Monday/Wednesday 1:30-3:20

What is sculpture? In addition to the conventional definition of sculpture being concerned with volume and mass in space, it seems that artwork falling out of any other category falls into sculpture. This studio seminar explores, through the work of the students in the class, how the conventional categories of sculpture, painting, graphic design, and photography as represented within the structure of the School of Art function to generate meaning. How art is responsive to its context and questions of authorship, process, and vulnerability are explored. Class time is spent in an effort to articulate students’ work vis-à-vis these questions. In order to facilitate this effort, various reading materials are discussed, and the work of other artists is considered. Open to art majors and graduate students from all areas of study with permission. Jessica Stockholder
