Introduction to Sculpture NQ Level 6
What is special about this course?
Are you interested in sculpture? Would you like to experiment with a variety of materials including wire, clay, plaster, recycled and found objects to create your own three-dimensional work? All work is project based and you will be encouraged to research sculptors and artists to inspire your practice and develop your practical and theoretical knowledge and understanding of a range of sculptural techniques. By exploring textures and form through drawing and sketchbook work you will develop a body of work and skills in refining and presenting your project work. Your artwork will be included in the end of year student exhibition.
