Drawing and Sculpting Elements of Nature
This course is designed to help students develop a personal vocabulary of forms and shapes that reference nature. Students will work from natural objects to build ceramic forms and to create drawings. The idea of this course is not to replicate nature, but instead to use natural objects as a beginning reference point to create personally unique new forms and imagery. Students will begin by using natural found objects of their own choice (seed pods, stones, sea shells, etc.) as inspiration for drawings and works in clay.
