Study Guide

Objective

The students will be able to:
• use contemporary methods and modes of expression in their own work
• consider their expression from the aesthetic and ethical perspective
• critically analyse and develop their own three-dimensional expression
• actively follow and analyse regional, national and international trends and phenomena in sculpture

Content

The students will focus on the content and modes of expression in contemporary sculpture. What can a three-dimensional object say about today’s society, and how? Which materials are environmentally sustainable? The studies introduce topical aspects of contemporary sculpture, such as spatial, multisensory and cross-disciplinary modes of expression as well as the relationship between a work and the audience.
The studies are completed according to the plan at workshops. During this course, the students will design and execute a three-dimensional work of art or collection of works. In addition, the students will create a visual presentation about a contemporary sculptor of their choice as instructed by the teacher and based on source materials. The course may also include visits to exhibitions and studios, artist lectures and excursions.
