Julie has written some information on the Monday Sculpture class for the blog spot

Have you ever thought about enrolling in sculpture?



This is a subject I think no one should miss, it opens your mind and will definitely improve your design skills. It also paves the way for more inventive painting and drawing skills. I AM VERY excited about teaching this course and thought there might be a few of you interested in a deviation from the usual painting and drawing courses.


Monday is certificate sculpture day at TAFE


Certificate Sculpture will introduce you to both contemporary and traditional techniques and skills, and encourage thoughtful and innovative designs.


First project for the year will be a mixed media low relief sculpture – presenting a broad range of materials and developing consideration of essential design and drafting skills.


Here is a selection of the Projects included in the course:


• Drawing and modelling the head from clay
• Relief sculpture – a cutting and constructing technique combining multiple media including cardboard, papers, pumice, bitumen, shellac, tissue paper and whatever else you would like to include!
• Modelling the figure with wire – three sculptures each to be covered with a different optional material such as paper, papier mache, plaster found objects
• Soft sculpture will be introduced as well as a couple of thought provoking contemporary projects:
1. Drawing without Paper and
2. making a sculpture out of Books.


If you are at all interested but uncertain I am happy to send you a PDF of the projects.
Love to see you there,
Julie

Certificate Sculpture 2012 - Mondays 9.00am - 3.00pm


Certificate Sculpture will introduce you to both contemporary and traditional sculpture techniques and skills, and encourage thoughtful and innovative ideas.

Soft sculpture will be introduced as well as a couple of thought provoking contemporary projects: Drawing without Paper and making a sculpture out of Books.


The class is designed to introduce students to techniques, skills and innovative thinking in the construction of three dimensional artworks.


Information on the Diploma Assemblage Sculpture class from the teacher Barbara Dover
Assemblage Sculpture 2012 - Thursdays10.30am - 4.30pm

Assemblage is non-traditional sculpture made from combining found objects. Assemblage sculpture allows for an almost unlimited choice of used and new materials such as wood, fabric, plastics and natural materials.

Over the 12 weeks Assemblage Sculpture course, ways of using these non-traditional and unlikely art materials to create sculptural works will be explored. During the course, different methods for joining and re-making will be investigated.

The first 3 to 4 weeks of the course will be devoted to small projects that will allow time for confidence, knowledge and skills with materials, composition, 3-dimensional design, communication and concepts to develop.

The second 7 to 8 weeks will be allocated to 2 separate individual projects using found materials, developing concepts, resolving technical and aesthetic decisions about materials and refining assemblage artworks. The final and completed assemblage artworks will be presented in an gallery setting.

Please see the below for further information on the Ceramics and Painting programs from the teachers of those electives.
