| Course Title: Topics in Art Studio: 'Casting, the Multiple, and Installation' |
| Start Date: 01/21/2020 End Date: 05/05/2020 |
| Term: Spring Semester 2020 |
| Description: This course will introduce basic mold-making practices in relief casting, multi-part plaster mold building, life casting, vacuum forming, and more. These molds will then be used to mass produce objects in wax, plaster, concrete, pewter, and glass, as well as non-traditional materials like candy. Throughout this initial skill-building portion of the course, students will work closely with partnering institutions on campus (such as the Botanical Gardens and the Williston Library) to propose, fabricate, and ultimately install large-scale installations of their cast objects. |
