Level 2 Sculpture
Course Description
Teacher in Charge: Mrs C. Jung.
Level 2 Sculpture
In the level 2 sculpture course students will learn construction techniques for spatial artwork in a series of creative material explorations.
They will then use these techniques to respond to a site of significance, researching the space and surrounding whenua to inform a creative spatial investigation. This will take the form of a series of small sculptures and then a proposal for a large site-specific sculpture.
This course deals with spatial design, three dimensional form, and response to surroundings, making it suitable for students who are interested in a pathway in architecture, spatial design, set design, or any creative industry.
