Study Guide

Objective

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

Content

The students learn a wide range of methods and materials used in sculpture, including recycled materials, textiles, paper, plastics, electronics, robotics etc., as well as combining different method and materials, for example soft and hard materials or cross-disciplinary art projects to create interesting content. In addition, the students learn about the history and current applications of methods and materials in sculpture as well as occupational safety in theory and practice.
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.

Content scheduling

Alternative methods of sculpture focuses in the fourth dimension (time) surrounding the three-dimensionality and (apparent) stability of sculpture. What kind of ruptures can video, performance or social rituals bring to the category of sculpture. How does time, temperature or motion sensitive materials expand the traditional concept of sculpture. The base for contemplating the temporarity of sculptural working is drawn from the most ancient form giving technique of ceramics.
