METAL ART/TECHNOLOGY
Courses in this area focus on current and emerging metal art technologies
to be used in the creation of conceptual, aesthetic, and functional art
works. Through the use of a wide range of metal art technologies, students
create new kinds of art works not otherwise possible.
Projects will involve a wide variety of skills, techniques, and processes,
including use of metalworking hand tools, hot and cold joining, surface
treatments, digital fabrication, and kinetic systems. Studio work is supplemented
with image lectures, demonstrations, readings, reflective writings, and
critiques.
This labor-intensive studio experience relies upon cumulative learning
experience through increasingly demanding projects. Competency is expected
in numerous new skills and techniques, and the creative use and application
of these technologies is essential to the success of completed art works.
