Information on the Certificate 1V Sculpture class from the teacher Julie Poulsen
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.


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.


Other sculptural techniques to be explored throughout the year include the human head worked in clay and modelling the figure in pliable wire. 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.
