ART 3203 - Carving (3)


When Offered: Spring. Odd-numbered years
This course explores making art work using the process of carving. Investigations into carving along with other reductive processes include traditional hand carving, turning, machining, etching, and digital techniques involving the laser cutter and the Shopbot CNC milling machine. Inquiries into the intersection of historic practices of carving to more contemporary concepts involving industry, digital technologies, and design are essential as students develop their own work exploring materials such as wood, stone, clay, and plastics. Emphasis is on critical thinking and development of technical skills with application to individual works of art, craft, and design. Studio six hours.
Prerequisites: ART 1001 , ART 1002 , ART 1003  and any studio art course at the 2000-level or higher. Additionally, a successful candidacy portfolio review is required for BFA Studio Art, BFA Art Education, and BFA Graphic Design majors; or permission of instructor.
