Study Guide

Objective

The student can
- use multimaterial starting points in their own expression
- reflect on and compare the content of different materials in their own processes
- recognise and take into account the health and safety and environmental aspects of found or otherwise original materials
- use their knowledge of combining materials and objects in practice
- understand the history of assemblage and the ready-made from the point of view of techniques and means of expression
- to consider the substantive and technical properties of different materials and their potential in sculpture
- reflect on their expressive choices in an aesthetic and ethical context
- develop three-dimensional expression relevant to their own artistic content
- deepen their knowledge of contemporary sculpture

Content

During the course, the student will focus on the wide range of materials used in sculpture. Materials support the physical form of the work and actively contribute to the meaning of the work. During the course, students will complete a variety of exercises and a larger independent artistic work. The content of the independent work overlaps with the content objectives of the course and deepens the development of the student's own artistic expression and understanding of the significance of material choices in contemporary sculpture. Students will actively participate in discussions, guidance and feedback on materials theory and meanings of materials, and pass the assignments.
