Objective

The students will be able to:
• apply historical and modern techniques and modes of expression in sculpture.
• use the methods and materials of wood sculpture and develop their own three-dimensional expression from a wide and innovative perspective
• analyse and compare different technical and material choices and meanings of different material combinations
• work while observing occupational safety and environmental considerations
• plan and scale their work for the time frame allowed
• working as an active member of a group while developing its work

Content

During the workshop, the students will learn the qualities and behaviour of wood as a sculpting material. The focus areas include the tools and safety in woodwork, the theory and practice of wooden sculpture and the development of individual expression in relation to the discussed methods and materials. The workshop may be held as a separate course or its content may be linked with projects that have already been started in other sculpture workshops.
The studies are completed according to the plan at workshops. Through these exercises, the students will learn how to use different methods, materials and their combinations as part of their expression. The students are expected to actively participate in instruction and feedback discussions.
