During this 5 week course, we will delve into the creative possibilities of materials and form by studying the work of Lee Bontecou, El Anatsui, and Sheila Hicks, each known for their innovative approaches to sculpture. Bontecou’s use of industrial materials, Anatsui’s transformation of found objects, and Hicks’ exploration of fiber as a sculptural medium will serve as a source of inspiration. Through hands-on projects, we will engage with materials such as textiles, wire and repurposed objects to explore how different techniques affect the relationship between form, materiality, and meaning. By focusing on experimentation and the development of original works, the course moves beyond traditional sculptural fundamentals to explore the diverse possibilities of contemporary sculpture and personal expression through materials.
