ART33B: Intermediate Sculpture: Section 0947: McGinnis M

INTERMEDIATE PROJECTS

OPTION 1, syncing with Art 33A:

Students who are taking my class for the first time after having taken beginning sculpture at another school should strongly consider following the same projects as those in the beginning section. It is likely that you have not learned the same basic information.  If you do wish to work parallel to the beginning students, you will be required to up your game, and make the project more complex, larger, and to create a small series.

OPTION 2, Individual study along these lines:

1. Make a series of sculpture permutations using several materials and processes (4-7)
2. Create multiple interpretations of a form using different types of media
3. Create a masterpiece study illustrating volume, plane, line and texture
4. Make abstract large-scale work with textural priority
5. Examine books and magazines devoted to figurative and non-figurative sculpture and techniques
6. Create a final project demonstrating techniques learned during course; exhibit completed work

POWERPOINT PRESENTATION:

Do a 10-minute Artist Report. Research an artist from a given list, or chosen after discussion with the instructor. Find source images and other informative details and create a powerpoint presentation or a webpage that can be shared in class on the large touch screen computer. Present in front of the class.
