Description

This course explores the intersections and boundaries between drawing and sculpture. Students will make inventive sculptures using everyday materials such as thread, tape, sticks, paper and a range of found objects. Built sculptures will deal with basic drawing concerns such as line, negative space, perspective and arranging shapes and forms to create patterns, designs and compositions. Drawings made in this class will move off the paper onto the wall and floor, and to open space (suspended from the ceiling). This course includes lectures, studio time and a brief overview of contemporary drawing and sculpture practices. The course is inspired by the work by American artist Sarah Sze (http://www.sarahsze.com) who is representing the United States in this year’s Venice Biennale. No previous drawing or sculpture experience is necessary.
