Sculpture & Drawing - Marlboro College

Sculpture & Drawing from Marlboro College is a Campus Bachelor Sculpture degree that prepares you for a Art and Design career. The study of sculpture at Marlboro proceeds out of the basic assumption that students need to learn in three intertwined areas: the language of three-dimensional form, the character and possibility of invention, and the development of technique. Students learn this in introductory courses through solving problems (both representational and nonrepresentational) given by the teacher. The history of sculpture is approached both through lectures and by in-class presentations of student research. As students develop in their understanding and ability, they increasingly follow their own choices of material, subject matter and means. Since our shop is equipped with mostly hand tools, the projects students execute are often in such easily manipulated materials as clay, plaster, wood and cardboard. Welding is available in a small facility. There is considerable emphasis placed on the relationship between sculpture and the various two-dimensional media. Students of art need enough technique and process to act on their ideas. They also need to be inspired by the example of other artists?both historical and contemporary. They equally need permission to follow their own impulses and designs in order to test their work against the range of work they come to know. In the end that balance is a matter of paying attention to individuals and helping them find their own way. In my own studio I continue to work on the interaction of work in two and three dimensions. My drawings and paintings feed directly off of my sculpture and vice versa. Materials that interest me currently include steel, wood, wire mesh and waxed cloth. A recent series of sculpture was inspired by the workings and appearance of machines. View more details on Marlboro College .
