RECOMMENDED PREPARATION
No
Yes
Course(s): Art 19-Figure Drawing
Rationale for Recommended Preparation:
Art 19 provides instruction on how to see the figure that would and render it in a twodimensional format. This information would be helpful for the ART 26 student, but is not
necessary. Creating sculpture from the figure requires presentation of much of the same
basic information about seeing the figure, but it is all geared toward creating sculpture.
COURSE LEARNING OUTCOMES
What should the student be able to do as a result of taking this course? State some of the objectives in terms of
specific, measurable student accomplishments.
1. Sculpt rapid and effective gestural studies from live models.
2. Build armatures and other methods of support in order to develop figurative pieces of
any scale.
3. Sculpt figurative works that illustrate an understanding of human anatomy.
4. Sculpt figurative works that illustrate the potential of the figure as a subject matter for
exploring form and content.
5. Utilize the figure as a source for works in a variety of modalities including realism,
expressionism and abstraction.
6. Develop works based on the figure in several different materials using appropriate
technology and tools for each material.
7. Analyze and synthesize the relationships of form, material, surface and scale necessary
to create sculptures that are structuraly sound and visually dynamic.
8. Theorize about, verbally describe and respond in writing to peer artwork during critique
and classroom sessions.
9. Utilization of a variety of sculptural materials such as stone, clay, wood, plaster, and
mixed media.
10. Sculpt from a variety of poses such as seated, standing, and reclined.
