The student will select his or her own personal content, paint media (watercolor, acrylic, oil, tempera, and or encaustic), and support(s) (paper, canvas, panel, or other). This course of study will explore both additive and subtractive methods for producing primarily "Black" paintings. The student will have the option of working on other painting skills during the course and producing other non-black paintings.

ART 493 Selected Topics: "Metal & Stone: Contemporary Sculptural Methods for the Artist / Educator"
June 24 - 28, 2013; Monday - Friday, 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Huber Art Center Sculpture Studio
An intense process driven investigation of the sculptural possibilities of metal and stone. This course is designed to give K-12 Art Educators hands on experience in the areas of forging, casting, and welding metal as well as the techniques of hand, electric and pneumatic cutting and carving of stone.
Emphasis on the concept of sculptural form and its significance in aesthetic exploration. It is hoped that students will better understand form and the development of sculpture (object and environmental space) in clay, metal, wood, stone, and mixed media. Students will observe the natural world for reference and example. Students will also be exposed to our human made world and its constructs (architecture, engineering, etc.). Students should develop an awareness of varied form making processes and how they affect both aesthetic and function. Three graduate credits.
