DESN-350-SU02M

Topic: Foundry + Metal Cast 
This studio course provides a broad introduction to a range of methods and processes that are employed in the production of contemporary sculpture using traditional and contemporary transformative processes involving casting and mold-making techniques (which may include the use of 3D printing) for casting materials such as bronze and aluminum through the use of our new state-of-the art foundry. Students will acquire practical and critical knowledge to consider cast-metal sculpture and its content and context within contemporary art and design practices. Assigned projects are structured around concepts and techniques relevant to contemporary sculpture practices. The course will include technical demonstrations, research, discussions, and critiques.
