This is a studio based course that provides a range of practical skills and processes along side an awareness of sculptural language, such as metaphor, narrative, symbolism and quotation. A range of media and processes are explored, as well as practical inductions and teaching of manipulative skills in a variety of materials. The course focuses on current sculptural practice including work sited on, or derived from the body, the encoded object, installation, and work devolving from an awareness of time, materials and processes. Aesthetic considerations such as scale, materiality, duration, mass, placement are analysed, towards developing increased sensitivity and perceptual awareness.
